Automatic Setup
The camera automatically obtains the network settings (subnet mask, default gateway and DNS server address) using the router's DHCP feature. The camera also automatically searches for an unused IP address on your network. If you select [Yes] for Allow Access from the Internet, the camera automatically enables port forwarding using UPnPTM. In this case, the camera automatically searches for an unused port number on your network in the order of 80, then from 50000 to 50050.
