Configuration Type

Choose the option that indicates how the IP camera obtains its IP address:

 

 

Obtain Address Automatically (DHCP)—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.

 

 

Fixed IP Address—Choose this option if you want to manually enter an

 

 

IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for the camera.

 

 

 

IP Address

 

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