Network
On the Network page, you can change how the camera connects to
the server network and choose how the camera keeps time.
NOTE: You can only set the HTTPS port, the RTSP port, and the
NTP Server in the camera web interface.
1. In the Address and Hostname area, select how the camera
obtains an IP address:
•
Obtain an IP address automatically: select this
option for the camera to connect to the network
through an automatically assigned IP address.
The camera will try to obtain an address from a DHCP
server. If it can not, the camera will default to
addresses in the 169.254.x.x range.
•
Use the following IP address: select this option to
manually assign a static IP address for the camera.
Enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default
Gateway you want the camera to use.
2. In the Control Ports area, you can specify which control
ports are used to access the camera. You can enter any
port number between 1 and 65534. The default port
numbers are:
•
HTTP Port: 80
•
HTTPS Port: 443
•
RTSP Port: 554
3. In the NTP Server area, select how the camera keeps time.
The camera does not have an internal clock so it uses a
Network Time Protocol (NTP) server to keep time.
•
Obtain NTP server via DHCP: select this option for
the camera to automatically use the same NTP server
as the rest of the network.
•
Use the following NTP server: select this option to
manually set which NTP server the camera will use.
4. Click Apply when you are done.
