Automatic Setup

The camera automatically obtains the network settings (subnet mask, default gateway and DNS server address) utilizing a DHCP feature on the router. The camera also automatically searches the unused IP address on your network. If you select [Yes] at the Allow Access from the Internet, the camera automatically enables port forwarding by using UPnPTM. In this case, the camera automatically searches the unused port number on your network in the order from 50000 to 50050.
