3.3. Network Configuration
IP Installer is a utility that provides an easier, more efficient way to configure the IP address and network settings of the
network camera. It even provides a convenient way to set the network settings for multiple devices simultaneously
using the batch setting function. Moreover, IP Installer can save the network settings for all devices as a backup and
restore them when necessary.
– Preparation before IP Assignment
z
Always consult your network administrator before assigning an IP address to your server in order to avoid using a
previously assigned IP address.
z
Ensure the network camera is powered on and correctly connected to the network.
z
MAC Address: Each network camera has a unique Ethernet address (MAC address) shown on the sticker of the
camera as the serial number (S/N) with 12 digits (e.g. 000429-XXXXXX).

One final note, although the IP Installer is able to find and configure any network camera on the LAN except those
that are behind a router, it is a good idea to set the host PC to the same subnet. In order to connect to the
Web-based user interface of the network camera, the host PC must be in the same subnet. For more information
about subnets, please consult your network administrator.
