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 receive 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, please see 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 the Network Camera is located on.

- 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 you cannot access the unit, 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.

* H.264 MP(Main Profile):

Primarily f

or low-cost applications that requires additional error robustness, this profile is used rarely in videoconferencing and mobile applications, it does add additional error resilience tools to the Constrained Baseline Profile. The importance of this profile is fading after the Constrained Baseline Profile has been defined.

* H.264 BP(Baseline Profile):

Originally intended as the mainstream consumer profile for broadcast and storage applications, the importance of this profile faded when the High profile was developed for those applications.
