Use

Click operations edit in the Modify IP column to open the Modify Camera IP window, in which you can set the camera IP to dynamically allocated IP or static IP.

In order to prevent the router from reallocating the IP address to the camera in case of power outage or other abnormal conditions and ensure the stable use of the camera, it is recommended to add a static IP to the camera.

Dynamic IP

  • Description

    A dynamic IP address is an IP address dynamically assigned to the camera by a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server. Each time the camera connects to the network, the DHCP server assigns an IP address to the camera from a pool of available IP addresses. This IP address may change each time the camera is connected.

  • Operation

    Set IP Assignment Type to DHCP, click Confirm, and wait for the camera to restart.

Static IP

  • Description

    A static IP address is a fixed IP address that is manually assigned and configured. When setting a static IP, ensure that the IP address of the camera is unique, and that the "Camera IP Address" and the "IP Port IP of the Industrial Computer Connected to the Camera" are in the same network segment.

  • Operation

    Set IP Assignment Type to Static IP, enter the IP address, click Confirm, and wait for the camera to restart.
