This section explains how to register a camera on the recorder. The recorder supports registration of up to 64 cameras.
1Click the [Quick] button on the setup menu.
This will display the setup window.
2Select the network port for detecting cameras from the
following.
[Camera port] / [Client PC port]
3Use the Camera auto-registration item to specify
whether to assign an IP address to the detected camera.
[Register the IP address automatically given by this unit to a
detected camera]
[Register the IP address set with a detected camera]
Note:
• After executing [Register the IP address automatically given by
this unit to a detected camera], the recorder will automatically
detect blank IP addresses for setting, but depending on the
network environment, the IP address may be already used for
the other network device (when the Windows XP firewall
function is being used, for example). If the same IP address is
used by another device, check the IP address setting and
change it manually.
• When [Register the IP address automatically given by this unit
to a detected camera] is executed and [On] is selected for the
DHCP setting of the detected camera, the recorder will change
the DHCP setting to [Off] and provide an IP address
automatically.
• Only when the DHCP setting of the recorder is [Off] are IP
addresses automatically provided.
• In the case of IP auto addressing, set the subnet mask of the
network port to 255.255.255.0.
• When automatically assigning IP addresses, make sure the
octets of the port selected in step 2 match the gateway.
Depending on the camera, IP addresses cannot be assigned if
it is not set.
• Registering an IP address to a camera automatically sets the
camera's HTTP port number to 80. Also, the camera's subnet
mask and default gateway are set to the same values as the
recorder's network port subnet mask and default gateway.
4Click the [Registration] button.
This will display a camera registration confirmation message.
5Click the [OK] button.
This will detect the camera and perform registration.
The "Setting" dialog box appears while registration is in
progress.
A "Camera Registration Result" window will appear after
registration is complete.
6Check the registration results.
• Up to 64 cameras can be registered.
• Only newly registered cameras appear in the "Camera
registration result" window. If there are more than 64
cameras on the same network, only 64 will be displayed.
• If multiple cameras have the same IP address, the IP
address and MAC address will be displayed in red. In this
case, change the IP address for one of the cameras and
make sure that the same IP address is not used for two
cameras or more.
