7.6. IP Installer-Configuring Camera IP Settings
If the router DHCP server is enabled, then by default, the camera will receive a DHCP IP address when it is connected to the
network. This should be changed to a reserved or static IP address so that the camera remains accessible after setup.
Obtain the settings needed below from the network administrator and follow the instructions below to configure basic network setup.
Important! Contact the router manufacturer for instructions to configure a reserved or static IP address.
A.
Open the IP Installer and single-click on a camera in the Device List. Its current settings will appear in the right column fields.
B.
Select "Static" at the top of the right column so that network settings may be modified.
C. Assign a "Name" to the camera based on the scene or location (Limited to 31 characters). Examples: FrontDoor1, SideDoor.
D. Enter the reserved static "IP" address for the camera.
E.
Enter the "Netmask" (subnet mask, found in the router—usually "255.255.255.0").
F.
Enter the default "Gateway" (found in the router).
G. Enter the "DNS 1" and "DNS 2" address (found in the router). Set DNS 2 "0.0.0.0" if no DNS 2 is set in the router.
H. Enter a unique port number to enable remote Internet access to the camera. Use port numbers that are consistent and easy to
remember. We recommend using 4 digits, starting with "8", followed by the last three numbers of the camera's IP address. See
the examples below:

Patio
Front Door
7.7. Verify Access to the Camera
Once the IP address has been set, the camera can be accessed through the web browser. Note that on initial access to each
camera, Active X controls will need to be installed on each PC used to access the camera. Continue to the next section for web
browser access and setup.
