[Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP)]
[Use the following IP address] Select this option when a fixed IP is required.
[IP address] Type the IP address of your camera (Required).
[Subnet mask] Type the subnet mask (Required).
[Default gateway] Type the default gateway (Required).
[Primary DNS IP address] Type the IP address of the primary DNS server, if necessary (Optional).
[Secondary DNS IP address] Type the IP address of the secondary DNS server, if necessary
(Optional). [HTTP port number] The default HTTP port number is 80.
[RTSP port range] In order to view video over RTSP the router should be setup to forward a port in the range 30000 to
30100 to the camera’s IP address using UDP with an internal port in the range of 30000 to 30100.
If you wish to assign the IP address manually, use this page to enter the address detail.
1. Click on “use the following IP address”. Then enter the IP address you picked that is outside your router’s DHCP
range.
2. Do not change the subnet mask. The default setting of 255.255.255.0 is correct unless you have a very unusual home
network.
3. Then enter your own router’s address in the “Default Gateway” box. Note that the first 3 groups of digits should be
the same as your camera’s IP address. Usually the last digit is 1, sometimes it is 254.
Note: It is very important to add the “Default Gateway” when assigning static local IP. While the camera gets this
information automatically from the router when using DHCP, the camera will not obtain this information if a local
IP address is assigned manually.
4.
Then click on “Use the following DNS server” and Leave DNS server settings blank or enter both the primary and
secondary DNS addresses that you obtained from your router menu or from your computer’s network connection
menu.
5. HTTP/RTSP PORT: Leave it the default setting. The HTTP port is usually 80.
6. RTP port range: Leave it the default setting or enter the RTP port as below: The RTP port range should start at 30000
for your first camera. For all additional cameras the start of the range increase by 2, for example your 2
nd
camera
would have a starting RTP port of 30002, the 3
rd
camera would have 30004, 4
th
camera at 30006 etc.
After you click on “Apply”, you need to log in to the camera at the address you just picked. Remember to add the http://
in front of the IP address, as in http://192.168.168.120. If your port is not 80 you need to add the port too.
From now on , regardless of what computers or other devices you have on your own network and regardless of the
order that you turn them on or off, you camera’s IP address will always be the same.
On some routers, for example some older models of Leviton or NetGear, you may also need to tell your router about the
network camera’s IP address, so that it shows up as a known device on your network.
