TCP/IP

  1. Go to Configuration->Network->TCP/IP->Tab "TCP/IP"
TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol and it’s the language/protocol that allows communication between internet connected devices, whether on a local network, or on the Internet at large. This tab allows for TCP/IP settings to be modified in order for the camera to establish a connection to the network. Below is a screenshot of the TCP/IP settings tab:

Explanation

IPv4 Network Settings

  1. Mode: Static vs DHCP: This radio button allows the user to choose between a static IP address or a dynamic IP address. DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, and this enables the camera to automatically obtain an IP address from another network device such as a server or more commonly, a router. When the DHCP function is enabled, the user cannot modify the IP address, Subnet Mask, or IP Gateway, as these values are obtained from the DHCP server. To view the current IP address, DHCP needs to be disabled. Note: When PPPoE is enabled, modification of the IP address, Subnet mask, and Gateway is disabled. 
  2. IP Address: This field allows the user to enter a custom IP address. 
  3. Subnet mask: This field allows the user to enter a custom subnet mask. 
  4. Gateway: This field allows the user to enter a custom gateway address. 
  5. Primary DNS: This field allows the user to enter the primary DNS server IP address. 
  6. Secondary DNS: This field allows the user to enter the secondary DNS server IP address. 
  7. MTU: This field allows the user to enter the MTU value. The user can adjust this value if required by the user’s network.

IPv6 Network Settings

IPV6 network follows the same setting as IPV4. Please be sure that the network device you want to the camera to connect to support IPV6 protocol when you use IPV6 connection.
Restore Default: Restore the values to default setting. 
  1. Refresh: Refresh the display of the settings’ value. 
  2. Save: Save the settings.
