The connected IP camera is our brand’s IP camera.
Reset the IP camera to default value (the default IP configuration method of the camera is “DHCP”).
The camera is powered on before the recorder is powered on.
If the recorder doesn’t configure the IP address of your camera automatically as described above, your
IP camera might NOT be:
Our brand’s IP camera.
Set to “DHCP” as its default IP configuration method.
