2) Network
The network camera supports both IP version 4 and IP version 6. Both versions may be enabled
simultaneously, and at least one version must always be enabled. When using IPv4, the IP address for the
network camera can be set automatically via DHCP, or a static IP address can be set manually. If IPv6 is
enabled, the network camera receives an IP address according to the configuration in the network router.
There is also the option of using the Internet Dynamic DNS Service. For more information on setting the
network, refer to Setup> System>Security>Network.
• Obtain IP address via DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol
that lets network administrators centrally manage and automate the assignment of IP
addresses on a network. DHCP is enabled by default. Although a DHCP server is mostly
used to set an IP address dynamically, it is also possible to use it to set a static, known IP
address for a particular MAC address.
• Use the following IP address - To use a static IP address for the network camera,
check the radio button and then make the following settings:
- IP address: Specify a unique IP address for your network camera.
- Subnet mask: Specify the mask for the subnet where the network camera is located.
- Default router: Specify the IP address of the default router (gateway) used for
connecting devices attached to different networks and network segments.
Notes:
1. DHCP should only be enabled if using dynamic IP address notification, or if your DHCP server can update a
DNS server, which then allows you to access the network camera by name (host name). If DHCP is
enabled and the unit cannot be accessed, you may have to reset it to the factory default settings and then
perform the installation again.
2. The ARP/Ping service is automatically disabled two minutes after the unit is started, or as soon as an IP
address is set.
3. Pinging the unit is still possible when this service is disabled.
