Subnet Mask: The default subnet mask of the LAN in this example is 255.255.255.0. You can find your
subnet mask within your router or using the command prompt method seen on the previous page. Make
sure you enter this information exactly as it is into the Network Configuration window.
Gateway: This IP address is the address of your router. This is usually 192.168.0.1, 10.0.01,
192.168.1.254, or 192.168.1.1. There are many different routers that use different IP addresses as their
default gateway; you may have a default gateway that is none of the above. This value mostly depends
on which router you have. As stated previously, you can find this out by logging into your router or using
the command prompt. You can see in our example that it is 192.168.1.1.
DNS Server: This IP address is the IP address of your ISP network provider. You can find the DNS
server in your router or check the locally attached address of your computer like in the previous page
using command prompt. Usually this is the same IP address as your gateway. For our example the DNS
was the same as the Gateway, 192.168.1.1.
HTTP Port: The default LAN port is usually 80. Another port is usually recommended to be set besides
80, such as 8090, or as in our example, 8918. Keep in mind that every IP camera needs to be on its own
port. Usually if you have multiple cameras, the best way to configure them is by making the ports
ascending. For example, if you are starting from 8000, you would then use 8001, 8002, 8003, 8004, etc.
User: The default username of the camera is admin. You will need to put in the correct administrator
username in order to change the network configuration.
Password: The default password of the camera is left blank; do not enter any characters in this field. You
will need to put the correct password in order to change the network configuration.
Note: If your network configuration is not set up properly, you may see a different message instead of an
IP address in the IP Camera Tool. The most common message is “Subnet doesn’t match, dbclick to
change!” This message means your network settings are not properly set, refer to the network
configuration details above and make sure all 4 fields of IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS
server are filled in correctly.
