First Images And The Most Important Settings

Once the camera has been connected to the network, you need to set up the camera's
network interface accordingly. This step involves setting up and checking the network
parameters of the camera. If your network is already using an IP address in the 10.x.x.x
range with a 255.0.0.0 network mask, you do not need to change the camera's network
parameters. You can access the camera directly (see Section 3.2.2). If your network or
computer does not use an IP address in the 10.x.x.x range (for example, in the 192 or
172 ranges), you should follow one of the following methods for changing the camera's
network parameters:

examples are not already being used by other devices in the network.
