2) Network
The network camera support both IP version 4 and IP version 6. Both versions may be
enabled simultaneously, and at least one version must always be enabled. When using IPv4,
the IP address for the video encoder can be set automatically via DHCP, or a static IP
address can be set manually. If IPv6 is enabled, the video encoders receive an IP address
according to the configuration in the network router. There is also the option of using the
Internet Dynamic DNS Service. For more information on setting the network, please see
Setup > System > Network, on “3.5.5 System > 4) Network”.
• Obtain IP address via DHCP:
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol
that lets network administrators centrally manage and automate the assignment of IP
addresses on a network. DHCP is enabled by default. Although a DHCP server is mostly
used to set an IP address dynamically, it is also possible to use it to set a static, known IP
address for a particular MAC address.
• Use the following IP address:
To use a static IP address for the network camera, check
the radio button and then make the following settings:
- IP address
- Specify a unique IP address for your network camera.
- Subnet mask
- Specify the mask for the subnet the network camera is located on.
- Default router
- Specify the IP address of the default router (gateway) used for
connecting devices attached to different networks and network segments.
Notes:
1. DHCP should only be enabled if using dynamic IP address notification, or if your DHCP
server can update a DNS server, which then allows you to access the network camera by
name (host name). If DHCP is enabled and you cannot access the unit, you may have to
reset it to the factory default settings and then perform the installation again.
2. The ARP/Ping service is automatically disabled two minutes after the unit is started,
or as soon as an IP address is set.
3. Pinging the unit is still possible when this service is disabled.
