TCP/IP
Configure the IPv4 and IPv6 network settings on the camera.
Note:When you perform a factory reset or reboot the unit searches for the last known IP address. If
this is not available it reverts to the default IP address of 192.168.1.168. This could result in duplicate
IP addresses. Refer to Quick Start Menu on page 32 for more information.
DHCP
On initial camera startup, and after a hardware factory reset, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) is enabled by default and remains enabled until the camera receives either a DHCP address
or is assigned a Static IP address.
Procedure 18 Enable DHCP
Step Action
1 Select Setup on the Web User Interface banner to display the setup menus.
2 Select the TCP/IP tab in the Basic Configuration menu.
3 Select the Enable DHCP check box to enable DHCP and disable manual settings.
4 Select Apply to save the settings.
The camera searches for a DHCP server. If one is found it connects to that server. If no connection
is made to a DHCP server within two minutes, the camera goes to the default IP address
192.168.1.168, but continues to search for a DHCP address.
Note:If you assign the camera a Static IP address prior to DHCP being enabled, the camera first
reboots for approximately 30 seconds and then remains accessible at its Static IP until it connects to
a DHCP server.
