Settings for connecting with the remote cameras
To control remote cameras from the unit and use the function to link the
unit, you need to set the connection settings in advance.
There are two ways of configuring the connection settings. You can
either configure the settings on the unit or use the setup software to
configure the settings.
This section describes how to configure the settings on the unit.
For details on how to use the setup software to configure the settings,
refer to “Setup Software” (page 73).

All the remote cameras are set to the same IP address when
they are shipped from the factory. Therefore, if multiple remote
cameras left set to the factory default state are connected with IP
connections and then operated from the unit, they will not operate
properly.

When another remote camera that is set to the same IP address
as an existing remote camera is to be connected because, for
example, the existing remote camera is being replaced, turn off
the unit’s power before making the connection. When the remote
camera is connected without first turning off the unit’s power, the
remote camera may not operate properly.
Notes
Link settings
Selecting one of the camera numbers CAM1 to CAM200 on the unit
identifies the remote camera to control. When the remote camera you
are attempting to control is connected via an IP connection, you need
to set an IP address that is not a duplicate of that of each of the remote
cameras and associate each IP address and each camera number on
the unit beforehand in order to perform control.
These association settings are referred to as
“link settings”
in this
manual.
Connection destination IP addresses
The IP address for the unit to identify the connection target (remote
camera) is referred to as the
“connection destination IP address”
in
this manual.
One connection destination IP address is allocated for each of the
remote cameras connected to the unit, from camera number CAM1 to
CAM200, for a total of 200 addresses set in the unit.
The connection destination IP address for each camera number can be
viewed in [SYSTEM] > [MANUAL IP SET/USER AUTH] menu.
Overview of related menus and operations
