Assigning an IP Address
OpenEye IP cameras are set to DHCP by default. If a DHCP server is not detected after 2 minutes, the camera will
default to IP address 192.168.51.2. If you are not using a DHCP server, NCM will allow you to batch configure a static IP
address. The default IP address for the camera network on your recorder is 192.168.51.1.
Selecting multiple cameras and entering IP address 192.168.51.2 will set an IP address on all selected cameras,
starting at 192.168.51.2 and increase per camera.
1. Open the Network Camera Manager application.
2. Select applicable camera(s).
3. Input starting Ip address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, DNS.
4. Apply changes.
5. Wait 60 seconds before refreshing NCM.
