CAMERA CONFIGURATION SEQUENCE
Once the camera is installed and power is applied, the camera will start a configuration sequence: the green LED flashes five times per second
for approximately two minutes and then glows solid green, indicating that the boot cycle is complete and the camera is on line.
NOTE: If the camera is not connected to a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server and DHCP is enabled, the configuration sequence
might take up to five minutes to complete.

Network and processor bandwidth limitations might cause the video stream to pause or appear pixilated when an increased number of
Web-interface users connect to the camera. Decrease the images per second (ips), resolution, compression, or bit rate settings of the Web-
interface video streams to compensate for network/processor limitations.
