4.2.2 Set IP Address
You need to set an IP address for the unit if the LAN unit isn’t connected to a DHCP server.
Otherwise, please follow the instructions given below:
Set the IP, MASK and GATEWAY. The following is a sample setting.
IP: 192.168.1.X
MASK: 255.255.255.0
GATEWAY: 0.0.0.0
NOTE: When only one unit of the IP camera is connected to a computer or LAN, you can
freely assign an IP address for the IP camera. For example, there is a range of IP
camera IP addresses from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255. You can pick one for use
from the range of the IP. It’s not necessary to set MASK and GATEWAY; leave the
settings as default.
When an IP camera is connected to a WAN, you must acquire a unique,
permanent IP address and correctly configure the MASK and GATEWAY settings
according to your network architecture. If you have any questions regarding
those settings, please consult a qualified MIS professional or your ISP.
NOTE: When connecting to a network, each connected IP camera must be assigned a
unique IP, which must be in the same class type as your network address. IP
addresses are written as four sets of numbers separated by periods; for example,
192.168.1.1 Therefore, if the connected network is identified as Class C, for
example, the first three sets of numbers of the IP camera IP address must be the
same as the network address. If the connected network is identified as Class B,
the first two sets of numbers of the IP camera IP address must be the same as the
network address. If you have any questions regarding these settings, please
consult a qualified MIS professional or your ISP.
