The recorder can detect the presence of a DHCP server upon startup. It sets
itself to use static IP address if there is no DHCP server currently presented in
the network. Its DHCP server function is also turned on at the same time to
assign IP addresses to cameras that are later connected to the network. You can
manually turn off the DHCP server function if you wish to use a separate DHCP
server.
Change the recorder's IP address would require the recorder to restart.
Restart the device under "system Options" >> "Maintenance" for the settings to
take effect.
