• Assign a local IP Address to your Network Camera

Guide.
After you have completed the setup of the DCS-5300 outlined in the Quick Installation Guide you will have an operating
camera that has an assigned IP Address. Because you are using a router to share the Internet with one or more PCs,
the IP Address assigned to the Network Camera will be a local IP Address. This allows viewing within your Local Area
Network (LAN) until the router is congured to allow remote viewing of the camera over the Internet.
Run the Installation Wizard program from the CD included with the DCS-5300. Follow the steps in the Quick Installation
Guide to congure the DCS-5300. The camera will be assigned a local IP Address that allows it to be recognized by
the router.
