Configuring the Device with a Static IP Address
N
ETWORKING PAGE
Caution
Consult your IT department before changing any network setting. Errors in network configuration can
make the camera inaccessible from the network.
By default, the camera is set to DHCP, and will receive an IP address automatically if your network
assigns IP addresses. If this does not happen, the camera uses its default IP address (169.254.1.1) and
may be unable to communicate with your network.
If you install more than one camera or other device on
a non-DHCP network, you must follow this procedure to prevent IP address conflicts.
It may be desirable to configure the camera with a static address even if it does receive an IP address
automatically. Work with your network specialist to ensure that the camera is configured to comply with
the organization's network policies.
Note
When you change the camera's hostname, IP address, or other network information, you will need to log
in to the web interface again. This does not happen if the only change you make is from DHCP to static
addressing or vice-versa.
If the camera is using its default IP address:
1. Work with your IT department's network specialist to determine the correct network settings.
2. Connect your computer's network port to the camera's network port if you have not done this already.

If the Camera Is At 169.254.1.1
3. Set IP Address to Static. Then enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway. DNS Server is
optional; ask the network specialist.
If the camera has received an IP address:
Work with your IT department to determine whether the device's current IP address is suitable. If it is, you
only need to set the IP Address to Static. If not, follow the procedure above for a camera using its default
IP address.
