VIDEO QUALITY CAUTION Pelco systems are capable of providing high quality video for both live viewing and playback. However, the systems can be used in lower quality modes, which can degrade picture quality, to allow for a slower rate of data transfer and to reduce the amount of video data stored. The picture quality can be degraded by either lowering the resolution, reducing the picture rate, or both.
Welcome This manual explains how to interface with the IP camera using a standard Web browser (for example Microsoft® Internet Explorer®). The IP camera can also be used with an Endura™ system as an Endura Enabled™ device or a third-party system with Pelco’s API interface. If you are using one of these systems refer to the following: NOTES: • Only use a cable modem router or a switch with a DHCP server when installing the Pelco IP camera on a network.
IP ADDRESS SETTINGS The network automatically assigns an IP address to the camera. The following scenarios describe how a DHCP or static network assigns IP settings: • DHCP network: If the camera is connected to a DHCP network, the server will automatically assign an IP address to the camera. DHCP is the default setting for the camera. • Static IP network: The camera will automatically cycle through the IP address range 169.254.200.0 through 169.254.200.255, on netmask 255.255.0.0.
