3.3.1 Default IP address
Since this is a network-based unit, an IP address must be assigned at the very first. The unit’s default IP address is
192.168.1.30
and sub mask is
255.255.255.0.
However, if you have a DHCP server in your network, the unit would obtain
an IP address automatically from the DHCP server so that you don’t need to change the camera’s IP address. But be sure to
enable DHCP in "Network Settings".
