NOTE
●
You do not need to assign an IP address to a hub.
●
In the case of not using DHCP server, the IP address for the camera is automatically set
to 192.168.0.30 by default. Therefore, set the IP address for your computer to , for example,
192.168.0.50.(When directly connecting with a crossover cable or connecting with a hub,
it should be run in the same network segment).
When using multiple cameras, connect the first camera at IP address 192.168.0.30 and
set different IP addresses (192.168.0.31, etc.) for the second camera and after.
●
You can also use the LAN port of your broadband router instead of using a hub.
However, when using a broadband router, if the "Connections Settings" is set to
"Automatically by DHCP, " the camera will get the IP address from the router's DHCP
server and may not be 192.168.0.30. For more information, refer to your broadband
router's user guide.
It is also recommended to set the computer’s IP address from the router’s DHCP server.
For more information, read your computer’s user’s guide.
