They may be from the DHCP server. If there is no DHCP server, the IP 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 192.168.1.2, to
192.168.1.254. If any of the address inside this range is free, the Network IP
Camera will be assigned to this IP address, and its subnet mask would be
255.255.255.0.

Network Cameras in search area and press Link to IE to use IP cameras with
Microsoft web browses.
