Reenable DHCP for a Camera
By default, the DHCP client of the camera is enabled and a DHCP server (or router that functions as a DHCP
server) in your network assigns a dynamic IP address to the camera. If you assigned a static IP configuration,
you can reenable the DHCP client.
To reenable DHCP for a camera:
1.
Open a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the same LAN as the base
station.
If you are unable to connect to the same LAN using WiFi, use an Ethernet cable to connect a computer
to the same router or switch as the base station.
2.
Enter the domain name or IP address of the base station.
If you do not know the domain name or IP address, see
Access the Base Station for the First Time
on
page 16.
A login window opens.
3.
Enter the base station password.
The password is the one that you specified the first time that you logged in. The password is
case-sensitive.
The Dashboard page displays.
4.
For the camera that you want to configure, click the Settings icon and select Network.
The Network page displays.
5.
Select the IPv4 Configuration DHCP radio button.
6.
Click the APPLY button.
Your settings are saved. The video stream might be interrupted and you might need to readd you camera
to your VMS.
7.
Click the Close icon.
The Dashboard page displays.
Manage a Camera Arming Schedule
You can create one or more schedules for arming and disarming the motion detector in the camera. When
you enable an arming schedule, the motion detector is armed only when the schedule is active. At any other
time, the motion detector is disarmed, that is, not active.
If you configure the VMS to record only during certain times of the day, also configure
the camera to be armed only during those times. This way you prevent the battery from
being used unnecessarily and avoid a reduced battery life. However, if you schedule the
VMS to record but the camera is disarmed, no recording occurs.
Tip
For information about copying an existing camera arming schedule from a selected camera to another
camera slot, see
Copy a Camera Configuration to Another Camera Slot
on page 58.
