Using the Network & Security Menu
The Network & Security menu provides access for configuring Network settings, Users & Security, TLS,
Traffic Shaping, 802.1x, SNMP, and Firewall. You have the option of changing ports and adding firewall
rules. By default, your device receives an address over DHCP, and all other network features are disabled.
Understanding General Network Settings
Network Hostname
You can configure a host name for your camera containing up to 63 alphanumeric characters. At least one
character in the host name must be a letter.
Port Settings
Port settings determine the ports over which users communicate with the camera.
HTTP: Do not change the HTTP when connecting to a Pelco video management system (VMS); doing so
might prevent you from viewing or recording video from your imaging camera. The default HTTP port is 80.
Note:Do not change the HTTP port when connecting to a legacy Pelco video management system,
as this may prevent you from viewing or recording video from your imaging device.
HTTPS: Set TLS to Optional or Required and install a security certificate before altering the HTTPS port.
The default HTTPS port is 443.
RTSP: Cameras communicate with video management systems over RTSP. Do not change the RTSP
port. The default RTSP port is 554.
IPv4 Settings
By default, cameras are configured to obtain network settings over DHCP. If a DHCP server is not
available, the camera defaults to an address of 192.168.0.20 on a 255.255.255 subnet. If 192.168.0.20 is
already in use on the network, the camera will increment the address by one until it finds an unused
address (for example,192.168.0.21 if 192.168.0.20 is in use).
Set DHCP to Off to configure a static address and manually set the subnet mask, gateway, and DNS
Server settings.
IPv6 Settings
(Optional): Your camera supports IPv6 configurations in conjunction with IPv4; the device does not support
IPv6-only network deployments. The camera will accept up to sixteen IPv6 addresses, three IPv6 DNS
servers, and three IPv6 gateways.
There are two configuration modes for IPv6 address assignment:
l Auto: Enables automatic configuration using router advertisement. Additional configuration can be
provided over DHCPv6 (if available on your network). Selecting Auto still allows you to manually
configure additional address, DNS servers, and gateways.
l Manual Only: Provides a link-local address for the device, and it requires you to manually configure
all other IPv6 address settings for the camera. Manually specified addresses require a prefix and
must be input in the format prefix/IPv6Address. The camera will reject addresses that do not contain
prefix information.
Note:
– Cameras do not accept multicast, localhost, or undefined IPv6 addresses.
