First Images and the Most Important Settings
Starting the Camera with Factory Default (Network) Settings
If you use the camera's start option 2 to load the factory configuration, this configura-
tion is not automatically saved in the camera's flash memory. When the camera is next
rebooted without using start option 2, the last stored configuration will be used. To
permanently store the new configuration in the camera's flash memory, open Admin
Menu > Store. Note that you can restore specific parts of the camera configuration
afterwards by using "Restore" to re-apply the settings still stored in the camera.
As opposed to resetting the camera using Admin Menu > Reset configuration to
factory defaults, the user information will not be reset if the camera is booted using
the factory settings.
Starting the Camera with an Automatic IP Address (DHCP)
Starting the camera using start option 3 and an automatic IP address (DHCP) is only
temporary. The network configuration of the camera can be permanently set to DHCP
(factory setting) under Admin Menu > Ethernet Interface.
Make sure that the network has a functioning DHCP server when starting the camera
with DHCP support. If this is not the case, the camera cannot obtain a valid IP address
and will use its last IP address.
You should also make sure that the cameras always obtain the same IP addresses by
permanently assigning the MAC addresses of the cameras to the desired IP addresses.
Tip : Briefly pressing the key of the camera will announce the current IP address via the
speaker (only on cameras with installed MX-EXTIO).
Make sure you store
the default network
configuration to the per-
manent flash memory
In case of an error, the cam-
era uses its last IP address
