Network >> Network IP Setting
This item allows you to select the IP address mode and set up the related configuration.
- DHCP: Select this option when your network uses the DHCP server. When the camera starts up, it
will be assigned an IP address from the DHCP server automatically. It is recommended that you
NOT use DCHP. You should instead use Static IP mode to set a static IP so that the IP address
will never change and you will always know what it is.
- Static IP: Select this option to assign the IP address for the camera directly. You can use
SkyIPCam Utility to obtain the related setting values.
IP Enter the IP address of the camera. The
default setting is 192.168.1.240.
Subnet Mask Enter the Subnet Mask of the camera. The
default setting is 255.255.255.0.
Default Gateway Enter the Default Gateway of the camera.
The default setting is 192.168.1.1.
Primary/
Secondary DNS DNS (Domain Name System) translates
domain names into IP addresses. Enter the
Primary DNS and Secondary DNS that are
provided by ISP. It is usually recommended
that you input the Default Gateway of your
network, which is the IP address of your
router. Check with your router manufacturer
for that information. THIS IS MANDATORY
IF YOU WANT TO USE THE FTP OR
EMAIL OPTIONS
- PPPoE: Select this option when you use a direct connection via the ADSL modem. You should
have a PPPoE account from your Internet service provider. Enter the User Name and Password.
The camera will get an IP address from the ISP as starting up. If you are using a router, you will
NOT use this option.
NOTE Once the camera gets an IP address from the ISP as starting up, it automatically sends a
notification email to you. Therefore, when you select PPPoE as your connecting type, you have to
set up the email or DDNS configuration in advance.
DDNS Setting
With the Dynamic DNS feature, you can assign a fixed host and domain name to a dynamic Internet
IP address. Select the Enable option to enable this feature. Then, select the Provider from the pull-
down list and enter the required information in the Host Name, User Name, and Password boxes.
Please note that you have to sign up for DDNS service with the service provider first. DDNS is ONLY
used if you are NOT using a router. If you ARE using the camera with a router, the DDNS function
will not work. To set up DDNS, you will need to use the DDNS function in your router.
UPnP
The camera supports UPnP (Universal Plug and Play), which is a set of computer network protocols
that enable the device-to-device interoperability. In addition, it supports port auto mapping function so
that you can access the camera if it is behind a NAT router or firewall. Select the Enable option to
enable this feature.
