Option Description
IP Addressing Area
Configuration Type Choose the method by which the IP camera obtains its IP address:
Dynamic—If your network includes a DHCP server for dynamic
allocation of IP addresses, choose this option if you want DHCP to
assign an IP address and subnet mask to the IP camera. Depending on
your router, the default gateway, primary DNS server, and secondary
DNS server may also be assigned. The DHCP server must be configured
to allocate static IP addresses based on MAC addresses so that the IP
camera always receives the same address.
Static—Choose this option if you want to manually enter an IP address,
subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server IP addresses for the
camera.
IP Address If you configured the IP camera for a static IP address, enter that IP address.
Subnet Mask If you configured the IP camera for a static IP address, enter the subnet mask
for the IP camera. Use the same value that is configured for the PCs on your
network.
Gateway Address If you configured the IP camera for a static IP address, enter the gateway for
the IP camera. Use the same value that is configured for the PCs on your
network.

Secondary DNS Optional. Enter the IP address of a secondary (backup) DNS server to use if
the primary DNS server is unavailable. Enter the DNS server to be used if
the primary DNS server is unavailable.
