Note:

Registering a camera forcibly logs out any other users currently logged in to the recorder.

All recording is disabled while camera registration is in progress.

Camera search cannot be used with cameras on another subnet accessed via a router.

For improved security, some camera models whose settings have been changed from initial defaults are detected for the only first 20 minutes after power is turned on. For details refer to the operating instructions for the camera.

The compression format of registered cameras is set automatically to JPEG or M-JPEG.

In the case of IP auto addressing, set 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask of the port connected to the cameras.

When automatically assigning IP addresses, make sure the octets of the port selected in step 3 on “Automatically detecting and registering cameras (page 48)” 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 camera's network port subnet mask and default gateway.

When the [Execute] button is clicked and the IP addresses of the cameras are changed, the checkboxes of the detected cameras (1-64) on the "Camera Search Result" window will be checked.

When the [Execute] button of "Start IP Address" is clicked, the unit will automatically find an unused IP address and set it to the detected camera. However, depending on the network environment, the set IP address may be already used for the other network device such as when using the firewall function of Windows®. In this case, check the IP address setting and register the other IP address for the camera manually. When a message saying there is no available IP address is displayed, check and arrange the IP address settings to manually register an unused IP address to the camera.

"Start IP Address" is available only when "OFF" is set for the DHCP settings of the unit.
