Network Configuration

Figure 20.2 Network Configuration menu
To configure network options:
1. If desired, change the following ports:
• IP Port (Web): The Web Port used for web browser access (HTTP) (by default, 80)
• IP Port (RTSP): The IP Port used for live video streaming (RTSP) from the IP Device (by default,
554)
• mjpeg: The network port for MJPEG transmission (by default, 8070)
• 3gp: Not in use.
• Mp4 : Not in use.
: If using multiple cameras, each camera must have a unique Web port and an
ATTENTION
RTSP port. You MUST forward (open) the new ports on your router. For more details, see
"Appendix D: Router Port Forwarding" on page 96.
Use the Lorex Auto Port Forwarding Wizard to simplify the port forwarding process. For
details, see "Appendix E: Auto Port Forwarding Wizard" on page 97.
2. By default, your camera is set to use DHCP to set a network address. Leave the box selected
to use DHCP—go to step 4. If you deselect the box to enter static network information, go to
step 3.
3. OPTIONAL—enter your network information in the following fields:
• IP Address: The numeric address assigned to the IP Device.
• Network Mask & Gateway: The numeric addresses assigned to the Network Router.
• Name Server 1 & 2: The external IP address of the Name Server. The Name Server is a
machine on a network that enables a hostname to be resolved into an IP address. (i.e.
www.lorextechnology.com translates to IP Address 207.97.199.227)
NOTE: Contact your Internet Service Provider for the IP address of your DNS server.
4. Click Submit Network to save your settings. Please allow a few moments for your camera to
update.
NOTE: Incorrect changes to the network settings will prevent the device from communicating, and may
require a Hardware Reset to resolve. For details, see "Appendix J: Rebooting, Resetting, and Recalibrating
the Camera" on page 113.
