Network

If not set already, an IP address, subnet mask and gateway is required to be set for full network access to the camera.

 

When using an alphabetical NTP server such as time.google.com, then you must also specify a DNS server.

 

Navigate to: Configuration > Network > TCP/IP

Description

IPv4 Settings

DHCP or Static

The best option for networking an IP camera is to assign the camera with a "static" IP address (ie: fixed) IP address for use on your network in preference to using DHCP.

This ensures the camera powers up on the same address every time.

IP Address

When static :
Specify the actual address you want the camera to use.

Subnet mask

When static :
Specify the subnet mask you want the camera to use.

Gateway

When static :
Specify the gateway aaddress you want the camera to use.

Primary DNS

When static :
Specify the primary DNS server by address that you want the camera to use.

This is very important when using specifying an alphabetical NTP time source such as time.google.com
