Step 2. Enter the IP address you wish to use. Make sure the first three sections are the same as the PC and that the last three digits don’t conflict with any other device on the network.
Step 3. Enter the Subnet mask and Gateway. These settings should match the PC. Optionally, you may enter a camera name to help identify this camera.
Step 4. Click Set. You will see a dialog prompting you to enter a username and password. You must enter a valid admin username and password. Click OK to continue.
Step 5. You will see “Resetting camera…Please wait..” in the upper left corner. When the process is complete you will see “settings saved”. Click OK to continue.
Note: If you leave the IP address unchanged, you’ll see a message (shown below) informing you that there may be another device using the same IP address (which in this case is the Observer). Click Yes to continue using the IP address you specified.
The following tables will help you understand what each of the settings shown here means and how to configure your camera so that it’s sure to be able to communicate with your PC.
