3.4.1 Basic
DHCP:
If there is a DHCP server on the network and you enable this option, the server will
automatically assign an IP address and related information to the camera.
Tip
Caution
Warning
Note
If there is no DHCP server on your network or you prefer to manually assign an IP address to the
camera, leave the DHCP checkbox blank.
IP Address & Subnet Mask:
If the DHCP function is not enabled, you have to assign an IP
address with the subnet mask to the camera.
Default Gateway:
Enter the IP address of the gateway if required. Please contact your network
administrator whether you need to set up the gateway.
DNS
: Enter the IP address of a DNS server. If you enter a domain name instead of an IP address
in server-related fields, e.g., FTP, SMTP or NTP server, then the camera will need a DNS server
to translate domain names into an IP address that is actually used for communication on the
Internet.
HTTP Port:
Use the standard HTTP port number 80 or alternatively specify another port number
between 1025 and 65535.
If you choose to use a non-standard port, and the camera on the LAN is to be accessible from the
Internet, then you must configure your router/firewall to forward incoming HTTP request to that
specified port (via NAPT/port forwarding settings).
MAC:
Display the MAC address of the camera. Each camera comes with a unique MAC address,
which is indicated on the product label. It helps you to identify which camera is currently
accessed, particularly when multiple cameras are connected to your network.
