| + | |Network settings will use either a dynamic or static IP addressing protocol. |
| + | |
| + | '''Dynamic IP address (default):''' DHCP-enabled routers dynamically assign an ''IP'' ''address'', ''subnet mask'', and ''default gateway'' camera parameters. By default, the DHCP server typically accommodates dynamic DNS operations. If needed, the ''Preferred DNS'' and ''Alternate DNS'' information can usually be found within the router's setup pages or within the modem's configuration established by your ISP. |
| + | |
| + | # Ensure the ‘''Enable DHCP’'' checkbox is checked (graying out the ''IP address, Subnet Mask,'' and ''Gateway'' fields). |
| + | # Make sure the ''‘Enable Dynamic DNS''’ checkbox is checked (graying out the ''Preferred DNS'' and ''Alternate DNS'' fields). |
| + | # Click ‘Apply’ to save the settings, then allow 60 seconds for the camera to restart. |
| + | # To confirm the changes were accepted, go back to the Cam Locator's main page, click ‘Search’ and review the displayed settings |
| + | |
| + | '''Static IP address:''' For implementations using a static IP protocol: |
| + | |
| + | # Uncheck the ‘Enable DHCP’ checkbox and manually enter the preconfigured IP address (mapped to the camera’s MAC address), Subnet Mask, and Gateway parameters. |
| + | # Uncheck the ‘Enable Dynamic DNS’ checkbox and enter the Preferred DNS and Alternate DNS address (e.g. 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). |
| + | # Click ‘Apply’ to save the settings, then allow 60 seconds for the camera to restart. |
| + | # To confirm the changes were accepted, go back to the Cam Locator's main page, click ‘Search’ nd review the displayed settings |
| + | |
| + | The ''MAC'' address is displayed for informational purposes and is not editable from the Network Settings menu. |
