The IP addresses shown in the "Current IP Address" field reflect those on the local network. They may be from the DHCP server. If there is no DHCP server, the camera will try to find a free IP address (this takes from 15 second to 3 minutes, depending on the LAN status). The method of finding IP address is seeking from 192.168.0.99, to 192.168.0.254. If any of the address inside this range is free, the Network Camera will be assigned to this IP address, and its subnet mask would be 255.255.255.0. If none of the addresses is free, the Network Camera will try the range from 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.98. After an IP address is assigned to the camera, the “Activity” status LED blinks.
The Vivotek’s new UPnP function will always assign an IP address for the Network Camera. The Administrator can click on button “Link to selected device” to connect the I.E. to the camera.
If the camera is not on the IP installer list, click on the “Search” button to search for the camera on the LAN.
