2.1 Camera IP Configurations by LAN
Auto mode is to simplify the complicated network settings within three minutes. The connection mode of the LAN
port is “AUTO” by default. This mode is suitable when the LAN port of the device is connected to a hub.
Note: SETTING Path: (ADVANCED CONFIG) NETWORK LAN MODE.

The device will automatically configure the IP address of a camera connected by LAN if:
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 device is powered on.
If the device 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.
To solve this, use our brand’s IP camera, and reconfigure its IP address to 10.1.1.xx (xx ranges from 11 ~
253), in the same network segment as the device.
a) Move your mouse to the left side of the screen to show the quick bar, and select “ ”. You’ll see the list of
every connected IP camera with its connection status to this device and MAC address.
b) Select the IP address which is not used, and select “SETUP”.
