1. Using a PoE-Enabled Switch
The MEGAPIX Camera is PoE compliant, allowing transmission of power and data via a single Ethernet cable.
PoE eliminates the need for the different cables used to power, record, or control the camera. Follow the
illustrations below to connect the camera to a PoE-enabled switch using an Ethernet cable.
1. Using a Non-PoE Switch
If a PoE-enabled swithc is not u sed, use a power adaptor for power transmission and a non-PoE switch for data
transmission. Follow the illustrations below to connect the camera without a PoE-Enabled Switch.

D H C P
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network configuration protocol that allows a device to configure
automatically according to the network it is connected to.
If your network supports DHCP and your MEGAPIX camera is set to DHCP, IP Finder will automatically find and set
your MEGAPIX camera to correspond with your network requirements.
S t a t i c
Static IP addresses are recommended when using a network that does not support DHCP or when setting your device
to be accessed externally via the internet. If Static is selected, you must manually enter the correct network settings for
your MEGAPIX camera. The settings will correspond with your network. To set your camera to a static IP address, we
recommend that you (1) setup the camera to DHCP, (2) allow it to configure itself according to your network, and (3)
change the settings to a static IP address.
1. To set your MEGAPIX camera to Static, highlight the desired device from the search results list, and click on
Configuration. In the “Network Configuration” window, make sure Static is selected.
2. Enter the following information: IP Address, Netmask, Gateway, and Preferred DNS.
3. Click Apply and Reboot to save all changes.
D D N S
Dynamic Domain Name Server is a feature that allows you to use a specific URL instead of an IP address to access
your MEGAPIX camera. This feature is optional. It may require a subscription and fee.
1. To use the DDNS feature, check the box next to Use DDNS.
2. Select the server you wish to use. *Some servers may require a subscription and fee.
3. If applicable, enter the User ID and Password.
4. Click Apply and Reboot to save all changes.
