4.2 Network Settings
The Network menu contains three sub-menus that provide the network settings for the camera, such as
the IP Setting, DDNS Setting, and IP Filter.
Network >> Network
IP Setting
This item allows you to select the IP address mode and set up the related configuration.
- DHCP: Select this option to allow your router dynamically assign an IP address to your camera.
When the camera starts up, it will obtain an IP address from the DHCP server of your router
automatically. It is recommended to use Static IP instead of DHCP and assign a fixed IP address
for each of your camera, so that you can always locate the camera on your network.
- Static IP: Select this option to assign a fixed IP address for the camera. You can use SkyIPCam
Utility to obtain the related setting values.
IP Enter the IP address of the camera. The default IP setting is 192.168.2.240 .
Subnet Mask Enter the Subnet Mask of the camera. The default setting is 255.255.255.0 .
Default Gateway Enter the Default Gateway of the camera. The default setting is 192.168.2.1 .
Primary/
Secondary DNS DNS (Domain Name System) translates domain names into IP addresses. Enter the
Primary DNS and Secondary DNS that are provided by ISP. It is usually
recommended that you input the Default Gateway of your network, which is the IP
address of your router. Check with your router manufacturer for that information.
THIS IS MANDATORY IF YOU WANT TO USE FTP OR EMAIL FUNCTIONS
- PPPoE: Select this option when you use a direct connection via DSL modem. You should have a
PPPoE account from your Internet service provider. Enter your DSL account’s
User Name and
Password given by your DSL service provider. The camera will get an IP address from the ISP as
starting up. If you are using a router, do NOT select this option.
NOTE Once the camera gets an IP address from the ISP as starting up, it automatically sends a
notification email to you. Therefore, when you select PPPoE as your connecting type, you have to
set up the email or DDNS configuration in advance.
