IP Settings

The section IP Settings provides the options to define how the

camera would obtain its IP address; and to which DNS server should the camera connect to, in

order to resolve domain names.

Connection Type

The sub-section Connection Type allows defining the method of

obtaining the IP address of the camera. By default, the camera is in Dynamic IP Address mode

and attempts to get the IP address from a DHCP server. If such attempt fails after several

seconds (for example the DHCP server does not exist), the camera will automatically assign itself

an IP address, listed under Static IP Address.

Host Name is used to identify the camera by a DHCP server. In some networks with very strict

security policy, it is required that all the network devices should have their host name, and when

the devices attempt to access the network by requesting an IP address from a DHCP server, the

DHCP server would check if the host name is among the allowed devices. On this page, it is

possible to edit the Host Name and enable or disable the use of host name.

Most installation projects include clear network topology and static IP addresses for each camera.

In such cases, you can change the camera to Static IP Address mode and modify the IP

Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway accordingly.
