Configuration Type

Choose the method by which the IP camera obtains its IP address:

 

 

Dynamic—If your network includes a DHCP server for dynamic

 

 

allocation of IP addresses, choose this option if you want DHCP to

 

 

assign an IP address and subnet mask to the IP camera. Depending on

 

 

your router, the default gateway, primary DNS server, and secondary

 

 

DNS server may also be assigned. The DHCP server must be configured

 

 

to allocate static IP addresses based on MAC addresses so that the IP

 

 

camera always receives the same address.

 

 

Static—Choose this option if you want to manually enter an IP address,

 

 

subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server IP addresses for the

 

 

camera.

 

 

 

IP Address

 

If you configured the IP camera for a static IP address, enter that IP address.

 

 

 

Subnet Mask

 

If you configured the IP camera for a static IP address, enter the subnet mask

 

 

for the IP camera. Use the same value that is configured for the PCs on your

 

 

network.

 

 

Gateway Address

If you configured the IP camera for a static IP address, enter the gateway for

 

 

the IP camera. Use the same value that is configured for the PCs on your

 

 

network.

 

 

 

Primary DNS

 

Optional. Enter the IP address of the primary the DNS server that is used in

 

 

your network. Use the same value that is used for the PCs on your LAN.

 

 

Typically, your ISP provides this address.

 

 

This address is required if you use a host name instead of an IP address in

 

 

any configuration field in the IP camera configuration windows.

 

 

Secondary DNS

Optional. Enter the IP address of a secondary (backup) DNS server to use if

 

 

the primary DNS server is unavailable. Enter the DNS server to be used if

 

 

the primary DNS server is unavailable.

 

 

This address is required if you have a secondary DNS server an you use a

 

 

host name instead of an IP address in any configuration field in the IP camera

 

 

configuration windows.
