Reset IP address at next boot: The default status is checked to avoid erroneous entries during installation. Having to
perform software installation whenever the network camera starts can be tedious. Therefore, once the network settings
have been entered correctly (especially the IP address), uncheck this option. If this option is disabled, the network camera
will skip installation at the next boot. The network camera can automatically restart and operate normally after a power
outage. Users can run IP Setup to check the IP address assigned to the network camera if the IP address is forgotten, or
they can use the UPnP function provided by the network camera (MS Windows XP provides the UPnP function at
Network Neighborhood).

General

IP address: This is necessary for network identification.
Subnet mask: This is used to determine if the destination is in the same subnet. The default value is “255.255.255.0”.
Default router: This is the gateway used to forward frames to destinations in a different subnet. Invalid router settings
will cause transmissions to destinations in different subnets to fail.
Primary DNS: The primary domain name server that translates hostnames into IP addresses.
Secondary DNS: Secondary domain name server that backs up the Primary DNS.

SMTP

SMTP (mail) server 1: The domain name or IP address of the external email server.
Recipient email address 1: The email address of the recipients for snapshots or log files. Multiple recipients must be

Recipient email address 2: The email addresses of the recipients for the backup server.
Return email address: The return email address used in the event that emails fail to be sent out.

accordingly.

must be correctly configured for remote access.
1st FTP user name: Assigned user name on the external FTP server.
1st FTP password: Assigned password on the external FTP server.
1st FTP remote folder: Assigned folder on the external FTP server. The string must conform to that of the external FTP
server. Some FTP servers cannot accept preceding slash symbols before the path without virtual path mapping. Refer to
the instructions for the external FTP server for details. The folder privilege must be open for upload.
Primary FTP passive mode: The network camera is located inside the network protected by a firewall; data connection
for FTP may be prohibited. By selecting passive mode, the FTP can bypass the rule and allow snapshot upload to
