Connections

Network Settings

For the camera to be connected to a network, the
following address data must be properly specified:
• IP address
• Subnet mask
• Default gateway
The camera provides the following three methods for the
address data setting:

• Using Persistent IP

• Using DHCP

• Using Link Local Address (LLA)
Using Persistent IP
Use this method when the IP address to be assigned to
the camera has been specified in advance. When using
the persistent IP, subnet mask and default gateway
settings are also required. When using persistent IP
forwarding on a router, default gateway settings are also
required.
Using DHCP
The camera is equipped with a function to automatically
obtain an IP address by communicating with a DHCP
server on a network. When using the DHCP method for
IP address setting, the subnet mask and default gateway
values automatically obtained from the DHCP server are
also used.

Using LLA

If neither Persistent IP nor DHCP is used, or if an IP
address cannot be obtained from the DHCP server, the
IP address is determined by LLA. The IP address
determined by LLA will be 169.254.XXX.YYY, with
XXX and YYY automatically specified.
In addition, the following network settings can be
changed.

• Packet size

• Packet delay

Packet Size
The amount of image data per packet can be set in bytes.
To permit the camera to operate properly, set the packet
size to a value less than the MTU of the network device
connected to the camera. Set the largest value in the
networks including the hub.

Packet Delay
The delay amount to be inserted between packets can be
set when sending them to a network. By increasing the
packet delay, you can reduce the network bandwidth that
the camera uses for sending packets. However, as the
amount of data sent in a certain time is decreased with
increased delay, the frame rate of output images of the
camera may be consequently decreased.
