Static IP: This option will assign a static (fixed) IP to your camera. A
static IP address will prevent the network from changing the camera’s IP
address and make it easier to access, especially when the camera is on a
large network and accessed by multiple users. Contact your Internet Service
Provider for more information.
*
Use DDNS: Check this option to use DDNS (Dynamic DNS). DDNS
allows users to setup a unique URL for the IP camera. To use DDNS, you
must register for a DDNS ID from a DDNS Hosting Service.
*
Port: This section displays all the port numbers that are required for
remote communication.
Setting the Camera on IP Finder
User can use the IP Finder software to setup the basic network
settings.
DHCP: If DHCP is selected, an IP
address will automatically be assigned
to the camera. If your network does not
support DHCP, a default IP
address and subnet mask will
automatically be assigned.
PPPoE: Select this option, when
you use WAN service or a
PPPoE-based internet service. Contact
your Internet Service Provider for a
User ID and Password.
