Click Use the following IP address and enter an IP address that is on the same subnet
as your network or the LAN IP address on your access point.
Example: If the network camera’s LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, make your IP
address 192.168.0.X where X is a number between 2 and 99. Make sure that the
number you choose is not in use on the network. Set Default Gateway the same

The Secondary DNS is not needed or you may enter a DNS server from your
ISP.
