Appendix C: Manually entering TCP/IP Settings for a Camera
In most cases, this is not required as the router will assign the correct settings to the camera. It is however useful if
you want to setup the TCP/IP settings of the camera before you connect to it, if DHCP is disabled across your
network, or if you have subnet network problems.
Assigning an IP address to the Camera with Camera Setup utility
1.
Launch Camera Setup to detect the camera on your local network.
2.
Select a camera, click on “Setup” and the following setup interface will pop up. Enter the default setting as
below:
User name : admin; Password: admin
1. Enter a unique name for the camera, the location (optional) and leave the default port number as 80. “Obtain an
IP address automatically” and “Obtain DNS server address automatically” are selected by default, if you are
confident enough to enter your own settings, you can do so by selecting “Use the following IP address” and follow
the guidelines on the next page.
2. To obtain the IP addresses specific to your network, click “Start” then “Run” and type “cmd” in the text box and
click “Ok”. This will bring up the MS-DOS prompt. In this window type “ipconfig/all” and press enter. A screen
similar to the one below will be displayed.
3. Take note of the following:
a. IP Address
b.
Subnet Mask
c. Default Gateway
d.
DNS Servers (Both numbers with the first being the primary DNS server and the second being the secondary DNS
server)
4. Enter the details noted in step 6 into the relevant fields in the setup.
