IP ADDRESS SETTINGS
The network automatically assigns an IP address to the camera. The following scenarios describe how a
DHCP or static network assigns IP settings:
•DHCP network:If the camera is connected to a DHCP network, the server will automatically assign
an IP address to the camera. DHCP is the default setting for the camera.
•Static IP network:The camera will automatically cycle through the IP address range
169.254.200.0 through 169.254.200.255, on netmask 255.255.0.0. The first available address
located will be assigned to the IP camera.
If the network cannot find an open address in the default range, manually set the IP address.
Tomanually set the IP address refer to “How to Change the Network Settings” on page 10.

address of the camera.
