2.2.2.3 IP Filter
The IP Filter setting can be found under this path: System> Security> IP Filter.
With IP Filter, users can allow or deny specific IP addresses from accessing the
camera.
zEnable IP Filter
Check the box to enable the IP Filter function. Once enabled, the listed
IP addresses (IPv4) in the <Filtered IP Addresses> list box will be
allowed / denied to access the camera.
Select <Allow> or <Deny> from the drop-down list and click on the
<Apply> button to determine the IP filter behavior.
zAdd IP Address
Input IP address at the blank space below the <Filtered IP Address> list
and click <Add>. The newly-added address will be shown in the list. Up
to 256 IP address entries can be specified.
In addition, to filter a group of IP addresses, enter an address at the
blank space followed with a slash and a number ranging from 1 to 31, ex.
192.168.2.81/30. The number after the slash can define how many IP
addresses will be filtered. For details, please refer to the following
example.
¾Example: Filtering a group of consecutive IP addresses
The steps below show what will be filtered when 192.168.2.81/30 is
entered.
Step 1: Convert 192.168.2.81 to binary numbers. The binary
numbers are 11000000.10101000.00000010.01010001. Users can
refer to Appendix B: IP Addresses from Decimal to Binary for
converting the IP addresses to binary numbers. The number “30”
after the slash is referring to the first 30 digits of the binary numbers.
15
Step 2: Convert a few IP addresses before and after 192.168.2.81
to binary numbers. Then compare their first 30 digits to the binary
numbers of 192.168.2.81.
a. Convert 192.168.2.80 to binary numbers. The binary numbers
are 11000000.10101000.00000010.01010000. The first 30
digits are the same with the binary numbers of 192.168.2.81,
thus 192.168.2.80 will be filtered.
b. Convert 192.168.2.79 to binary numbers. The binary numbers
are 11000000.10101000.00000010.01001111. The first 30
digits are different with the binary numbers of 192.168.2.81,
thus 192.168.2.79 will not be filtered. This also means the IP
addresses before 192.168.2.79 will not be filtered. Therefore,
users can stop converting the IP addresses before
192.168.2.79 to binary numbers.
c. Repeat the same procedure in “a” with the IP addresses after
192.168.2.81. Stop when the situation occurs in “b” happened.
Namely, the 30th digit of the binary numbers of IP address
192.168.2.84 is different, and will not be filtered.
As a result, the IP addresses 192.168.2.80 to 192.168.2.83 will be
filtered when entering 192.168.2.81/30. The table below clearly
shows the 30th digit of the binary numbers of IP addresses
192.168.79 and 192.168.84 are different from the others. Therefore,
these two IP addresses will not be filtered.
IP Addresses Binary Numbers
192.168.2.79 11000000.10101000.00000010.01001111
192.168.2.80 11000000.10101000.00000010.01010000
192.168.2.81 11000000.10101000.00000010.01010001
192.168.2.82 11000000.10101000.00000010.01010010
192.168.2.83 11000000.10101000.00000010.01010011
192.168.2.84 11000000.10101000.00000010.01010100
zDelete IP Address
To remove an IP address from the list, please select the IP and click on
