Select the basic policy of the limit from Allow and Deny for the computers specified on the Network address/ Subnet 1 to Network address/Subnet 10 menus below.

Network address/Subnet 1 to Network address/Subnet 10

Type the IP addresses and subnet mask values you want to allow or deny access to the camera.

You can specify up to 10 IP addresses and subnet mask values. For a subnet mask, type 8 to 32.

Select Allow or Deny from the drop-down list on the right for each IP address/subnet mask .

Tip

The subnet mask value represents the bit number from the left of the network address.

For example, the subnet mask value for “255.255.255.0” is 24.

If you set “192.168.0.0/24” and “Allow,” you can allow access from the computers having an IP address between “192.168.0.0” and “192.168.0.255”.
