"Get IP address automatically" & “Use fixed IP address”
The default status is “Get IP address automatically”. This can be tedious having to perform software installation whenever the Network Camera starts. Therefore, once the network settings, especially the IP address, have been entered correctly, select “Use fixed IP address” then the Network Camera will skip installation at the next boot. The Network Camera can automatically restart and operate normally after a power outage. Users can run IP installer to check the IP address assigned to the Network Camera if the IP address is forgotten or using the UPnP function provided by the Network Camera (MS Windows XP provides UPnP function at My Network Place). As for how to get IP address automatically, please refer to the section of Software Installation.
