Both IP addresses must be within the same network group and have the same subnet mask, as shown by the shading above. In this example, the Network Group is 192.168.100.

When connecting directly from the camera to a computer, operation is assured if the following conditions are met:

• DHCP should be OFF.

• If DHCP is off, the IP address of the camera and the

computer must be unique, but in the same Network Group.

• The Netmask of both the camera and computer must be the same.

• A CAT-5 crossover cable is used between the camera and computer if no switch or hub is present.

• Under most conditions, the computer LAN card

should be set for no proxy server. Please refer to the KA-DV300 Users Guide ‘Setting a Proxy Server’ for information regarding this setting if troubles are encountered.
