C. IP Assignment
IP Installer is a utility that provides an easier, more efficient way to configure the IP
address and network settings of the network camera. It even provides a convenient way to
set the network settings for multiple devices simultaneously using the batch setting
function. Moreover, IP Installer can save the network settings for all devices as a backup
and restore them when necessary.
z Always consult your network administrator before assigning an IP address to your
server in order to avoid using a previously assigned IP address.
z Ensure the network camera is powered on and correctly connected to the network.
z MAC Address: Each network camera has a unique Ethernet address (MAC address)
shown on the sticker of the camera.
z One final note, although the IP Installer is able to find and configure any network
camera on the LAN except those that are behind a router, it is a good idea to set the
host PC to the same subnet. In order to connect to the Web-based user interface of
the network camera, the host PC must be in the same subnet. For more information
about subnets, please consult your network administrator.
