First Images and the Most Important Settings
Starting the Camera with Factory (Network) Settings
If you use
boot option 2 to load the factory configuration, this configuration is not
automatically saved in the camera’s flash memory. When the camera is next rebooted
without using boot option 2, the last stored configuration will be used. To permanently
store the new configuration in the camera’s flash memory, open
Admin Menu > Store.
Note that you can restore specific parts of the camera configuration afterwards by
using “Restore” to re-apply the settings still stored in the camera.
As opposed to resetting the camera using
Admin Menu > Reset configuration to
factory defaults, the user information will not be reset if the camera is booted using
the factory settings.
Starting the Camera with an Automatic IP Address (DHCP)
If you use boot option 3 to start the camera with an automatic IP address (DHCP), this
is only temporary . The network configuration of the camera can be permanently set
to DHCP (factory setting) under
Admin Menu > Ethernet Interface.
Make sure that the network has a functioning DHCP server when starting the camera
with DHCP support. If this is not the case, the camera cannot obtain a valid IP address
and will use its last IP address.
You should also make sure that the cameras always obtain the same IP addresses by
permanently assigning the MAC addresses of the cameras to the desired IP addresses.
Hint: Briefly pressing the L key will prompt the camera to announce its current IP address
on the camera speaker.
Make sure you store
the default network
configuration to the per-
manent flash memory
In case of an error, the cam-
era uses its last IP address
