4.3 TROUBLESHOOTING CONNECTION ISSUES
ISSUES WITH DHCP
As long as you are connecting your camera to a router with DHCP enabled, you should not
have an issue connecting to your camera. The majority of routers do have the DHCP feature,
but some users disable this feature and manually assign IP addresses to the devices on their
network. The first step in resolving a connectivity issue, is to ensure that DHCP is active on
your router. You will need to consult your router’s manual for information on where this feature
is located.
If you have disabled DHCP and prefer
to manually assign IP addresses to your
network devices, you may do so using the
ConfigTool
software. If you do not know
the correct IP information, you can use the
Windows IPCONFIG command to obtain the
needed information.
Double-click on the desired device to open
the camera’s
Login
window within
Config
Tool
to open the
IP Address Modification
window.

Enter the IP address, default gateway and
subnet mask.
Click
OK
to save, and you will see the
information update in the
Device List
.
Right-click on the camera to open it in the
Web Service
browser program and proceed
as described in
Section 4.2
, above.
Alternately, you may wish to turn on DHCP in
your router long enough to allow the camera
to obtain an IP address, which you can then
change to
Static
in the
Web Service’s
Network TCP/IP
window.
