Configuration Type | Choose the method by which the IP camera obtains its IP address: | |
|
| • |
|
| 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. |
|
| • |
|
| subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server IP addresses for the |
|
| camera. |

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

|
| any configuration field in the IP camera configuration windows. |
|

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