“Restore” to re-apply the settings still stored in the camera.
As opposed to resetting the camera using
Admin Menu > Reset conguration to fac-
tory defaults, the user information will not be reset if the camera is booted using the
factory settings.
StartingtheCamerawithanAutomaticIPAddress(DHCP)
If you use start option 3 to start the camera with an automatic IP address (DHCP), this
is only temporary
.Thenetworkcongurationofthecameracanbepermanentlyset
to DHCP (factory setting) under Admin Menu > Ethernet Interface.
Make sure that the network has a functioning DHCP server when starting the camera
with DHCP support. If this is not the case, the camera cannot obtain a valid IP address
and will use its last IP address.
You should also make sure that the cameras always obtain the same IP addresses by
permanently assigning the MAC addresses of the cameras to the desired IP addresses.
Hint: Brieypressingthekey will prompt the camera to announce its current IP address
on the camera speaker.
Make sure you store
the default network
congurationtotheper-
manentashmemory
In case of an error, the cam-
era uses its last IP address
