Network Set up -
Guide to the Network Environment
Please configure the IP Camera at the
installation site. Determine your network
scenario to configure the IP Camera with the
proper TCP/IP settings.
This tutorial will guide you through the
process. Before actually configuring the IP
Camera, determine the settings to be applied.
Record those settings to be used to configure
your IP Camera for reference.
When configuring your IP Camera, treat the
IP Camera as another PC on your network.
You will assign it to several addresses and
other TCP/IP properties to match your current
network.
This step-by-step tutorial will teach what IP
addresses and network configurations should
be assigned based on the network scenario.
Before you begin, locate any information and
1
settings received from your Internet Service
Provider (ISP). You may need to refer to these IP
addresses later during the configuration.

i If you were not given any IP addresses or the ISP was
responsible for the set up and installation of your
Internet connection, go to step 2.
i
If you are not using a router on your network,
your 'Current TCP/IP Settings' (from the previous
section) and 'Assigned IP Addresses from My ISP' will
be exactly the same.
Determine whether the IP address is STATIC or
2
DYNAMIC. Contact your ISP to get a STATIC IP
address for the camera.
Configure your IP Camera's TCP/IP settings for
3
network connectivity by selecting Set up from the
main interface and selecting TCP/IP located on the
left of the set up screen.
Use 'admin' for both entries if prompted for ID
4
and password. The default web port number is 80.
If the ISP blocks port 80, use a value between 1025
~ 60000. If TCP port 80 is blocked, contact your
ISP.
The following descriptions are several basic
5
network scenarios. Determine which scenario
describes your network. If your network does not
match one of the scenarios below and you are
unsure how to set up your IP camera, contact your
network administrator.

You cannot control the rectangular gray areas and only
the ISP has access to the devices.
