To change numbers, select the appropriate area on IP installer
with your mouse, and type in the info.
Name
Fourth number (different than computer)
Select “Static”
Subnet Mask (same as computer)
Default Gateway (same as computer)
DNS Server 1 (same as computer)
DNS Server 2 (same as computer)
Port (A port between 8000-8999 is
recommended, but any network
port can be used)
First 3 numbers are
same as computer
7.) Enter the information you wrote down from step 6 on page 9 into the IP camera network page
A.) Default Gateway (Enter this number under “Gateway”)
B.) DNS Server (Enter this number under “DNS 1”)
C.) Subnet Mask (Enter this number under “Netmask”)
8.) Giving the IP Camera a unique IP address.
Assign and IP address to the IP Camera by using the first 3 sets of numbers of your default gateway. A
IP address, has 4 sets of numbers, each followed by a period. Xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Using 192.168.1.1 as an
example of the default gateway, the IP Camera’s address will start with 192.168.1.xxx
9.) Make sure you use a number different than that of your computer’s IP address.
(Generally between 2-250) This number needs to be out of the range of DHCP.
DHCP is assigned with your router, and can be checked by logging into the router.
For example, if the IP address of the computer you are using is 192.168.1.74, 192.168.1.208 could be
used for your IP Camera.
You must choose a number that is different from your computer’s IP.
If your IT technician has designated a static internal IP for your IP Camera, use that address.
10.) To assign the port, choose a port between 5400-9000, and type it into “Port 1” If a specific port has
been designated for your security system, that can also be used, even if the number is not within the
range of 5400-9000.
