6.6 – Basic Network Settings
If you would like to set a static IP for the camera (highly recommended), you can do so on the Basic
Network Settings page. Keep the camera in the same subnet of your router or computer. Our subnet in
this example is “192.168.1.”
You will notice that most of these settings are exactly the same as the settings seen in the IP Camera
Tool software. You can use this method of changing the network information as an alternative to using IP
Camera Tool if you would like.
If you are unsure of your subnet mask, gateway, or DNS server, you can always check by using the
methods explained in Section 5.1 of this manual.
An alternative way to find your network information (Windows 7) is by clicking Start, then clicking Control
Panel. Once Control Panel opens up, click on “View Network Status and Tasks” or “Network Sharing
Center.” This will take you to the network status screen. Where it reads “Connections,” click your
connection to open the “Local Area Connection Status” page. Then click “Details.”
Once the details screen pops up, you will see similar network information; use this information to fill or
double-check the fields you have.
