Network
All network-related settings can be defined here.
Device Name
Enter a device name for the camera.
The camera shows up in your
network under this name. The name
also shows up in your DHCP Server
log, should you decide to set the
Network Address to "Dynamic IP
Address" (see below).
Network Address
The IP address of the camera can
be set automatically via DHCP (the
camera receives its IP Address
information from a DHCP Server in
your network; e.g.,, a router), or you
can set up the IP information
manually. Setting up the IP Address
manually requires knowledge about
TCP/IP networks.
IP, Subnet mask, Gateway
Configuration
If you are using a fixed IP address,
you must also enter the correct
subnet mask and default gateway.
(If you have trouble configuring
network system information, ask
your network administrator.)
DNS Configuration
DNS (Domain Name Service) provides the translation of host names of IP addresses on your network.
Primary DNS – Type in the IP address of the primary DNS server.
Secondary DNS – Type in the IP address of the secondary DNS server (optional).
Web, Video, Upgrade and PTZ Server Port Configuration
Type the port number for each server port within a limit. Normally it is not necessary to make any changes
to the port settings.
Service Configuration – The camera can send you an e-mail whenever the IP Address of the camera
changes (e.g.,, you have set up a dynamic IP Address for the camera). Click on "Settings …" to open a
window which lets you specify the e-mail address.
In order to use this function, the SMTP Server
needs to be set up first. Refer to the chapter "Event
Config / Event Server". If you use a domain name as
the SMTP Server — e.g., smtp.mydomain.com — you
also need to setup correct DNS Servers (see above). If
the server is entered with the IP Address only, no DNS
Servers are required.
