Network
The Network page allows you to modify the network settings of the wired Ethernet. The default settings use
DHCP to obtain an IP address automatically. In most of the home and office network environment, there is a
DHCP server running. In this situation, by using these default settings, the
IP Camera
can work immediately in
most of the time.
If the Ethernet cable is unplugged, the
IP Camera
will lose connection. But as soon as the Ethernet cable is
plugged in again, the
IP Camera
will obtain a new IP address immediately.
Figure 3-5: Network settings page for DHCP function
If the network environment does not support DHCP function, you will need to set the network settings of the
IP Camera
manually. Please fill all the fields including “IP address”, “Subnet mask”, “Default gateway” and “DNS
server” to let the network work. All these settings must be correct for your network environment, otherwise the
IP Camera
cannot work.
The default setting is “Obtain an IP address automatically”.
