TURNING ON DHCP
The default Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) setting for the camera is DHCP On. If the DHCP option is set to Off, complete the
following steps to reset it to On.
1. Place your mouse pointer over the Network tab.
2. Select General from the drop-down menu.
3. Select the On option for DHCP.
4. Click the Save button to save the settings, or click the Reset button to clear all of the information you entered without saving it.
NOTE: If the camera is not connected to a DHCP server but DHCP is set to On, the default IP address 192.168.0.20 on subnet mask 255.255.255.0
is automatically assigned to the camera. After the first camera is connected and assigned the default IP address, the system will automatically
look for other cameras on the auto IP address system and assign IP addresses in sequential order as required. For example, if three cameras are
connected to a network without a DHCP server, the first camera will be assigned address 192.168.0.20, the second camera will be assigned
address 192.168.0.21, and the third camera will be assigned address 192.168.0.22.

5. Click the Save button to save the settings, or click the Reset button to clear all of the information you entered without saving it.
