5.1.1 Network (IPv4) Settings
1.
Click the [Setup] tab.
2.
On the left side of the screen under [Basic], click [Network (IPv4)].
3.
Select the desired connection mode, then make the appropriate settings as described in this section.
[Automatic Setup]: Allows the camera to automatically obtain the appropriate network settings from your broadband router or from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). The camera also searches for an unused IP address on your network.
[Static]: Allows you to set all network settings manually.
[DHCP]: Allows you to specify your network settings (if necessary), after which the camera obtains an IP address automatically from the DHCP feature of your broadband router or from your ISP.
[Automatic Setup]
1.
Set the following parameters as desired.
a.
Under [Max. Bandwidth Usage], select the maximum bandwidth you want to allow the camera to use.
b.
Under [Connection Type], select the appropriate connection type.
Normally you can leave this setting at [Auto Negotiation].
2.
Click [Save].
3.
When the [New settings are saved.] message is displayed, click [Restart].
Note
If the camera’s IP address was changed as a result of changing the network settings, use the Setup Program on the CD-ROM to find the camera’s new IP address (see Finding cameras on the LAN).
The current network settings can be confirmed on the [Status] page (see 8.1 Confirming Camera Status).
[Static]
1.
Set the following parameters as desired.
a.
Under [Network Configuration from Setup Program], select whether or not you want to allow the camera to be configured using the Setup Program on the CD-ROM.
b.
Under [Internet Connection], enter the port number to be assigned to the camera.
The default port number is 80, however, note that some ISPs do not allow access from the Internet using port 80. Ask your ISP or network administrator about which port numbers are available for access over the Internet.
Do not use the following port numbers:
20 and 21: used for FTP
23: used for Telnet
25: used for SMTP
53: used for DNS
110: used for POP3
443: used for HTTPS
4000: used for ICQ
6661–6667: used for IRC
If you are connecting multiple cameras and plan on using port forwarding to allow Internet access to the cameras, assign a different port number to each camera. We recommend using port numbers in the 50000–50050 range.
c.
Enter the IP address to be assigned to the camera.
Assign an IP address that belongs to the same class as other network devices (router, PCs, etc.) on the local area network. For example, if your router’s address is 192.168.0.1, you can assign an IP address between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254 as long as the assigned address is not used by another network device.
d.
Enter the appropriate subnet mask.
Confirm the subnet mask assigned to your router or PC. You can enter the same value here.
e.
Under [Default Gateway], enter the IP address of your router or the default gateway IP address provided by your ISP or network administrator.
f.
Under [DNS], enter the IP addresses of the primary and secondary DNS servers provided by your ISP or network administrator.
g.
Under [Max. Bandwidth Usage], select the maximum bandwidth you want to allow the camera to use.
This setting is effective for both IPv4 and IPv6 connections.
Refer to the following file size information when restricting the maximum bandwidth. Note that these are estimated file sizes; the actual file size may vary depending on image quality, image brightness, etc.
192 × 144: 7 KB (56 Kbit)
320 × 240: 16 KB (128 Kbit)
640 × 480: 35 KB (280 Kbit)
h.
Under [Connection Type], select the appropriate connection type.
Normally you can leave this setting at [Auto Negotiation].
This setting is effective for both IPv4 and IPv6 connections.
2.
Click [Save].
3.
When the [New settings are saved.] message is displayed, click [Restart].
All images buffered in the internal memory are deleted when the camera is restarted.
Note
To access the camera again, use the IP address you assigned to the camera in this procedure.
The current network settings can be confirmed on the [Status] page (see 8.1 Confirming Camera Status).
[DHCP]
1.
Set the following parameters as desired.
a.
Under [Network Configuration from Setup Program], select whether or not you want to allow the camera to be configured using the Setup Program on the CD-ROM.
b.
Under [Internet Connection], enter the port number to be assigned to the camera.
The default port number is 80, however, note that some ISPs do not allow access from the Internet using port 80. Ask your ISP or network administrator about which port numbers are available for access over the Internet.

6661–6667: used for IRC
If you are connecting multiple cameras and plan on using port forwarding to allow Internet access to the cameras, assign a different port number to each camera. We recommend using port numbers in the 50000–50050 range.
c.
Enter the host name*1 if required by your ISP or network administrator.
If the camera is connected to a router, you can usually leave this field blank.
d.
Under [Default Gateway], enter the default gateway IP address if required by your ISP or network administrator.
This field can normally be left empty.
e.
Under [DNS], enter the IP addresses of the primary and secondary DNS servers if required by your ISP or network administrator.
These fields can normally be left empty.
f.
Under [Max. Bandwidth Usage], select the maximum bandwidth you want to allow the camera to use.
This setting is effective for both IPv4 and IPv6 connections.
Refer to the following file size information when restricting the maximum bandwidth. Note that these are estimated file sizes; the actual file size may vary depending on image quality, image brightness, etc.
192 × 144: 3.5 KB (28 Kbit)
320 × 240: 10 KB (80 Kbit)
