Starting the Camera with Factory Default (Network) Settings
If you use the camera’s boot option 2 to load the factory conguration, this congura-
tion is not automatically saved in the camera’s ash memory. When the camera is next
rebooted without using boot option 2, the last stored conguration will be used. To
permanently store the new conguration in the camera’s ash memory, open Admin
Menu > Store. Note that you can restore specic parts of the camera conguration
aerwards by using “Restore” to re-apply the settings still stored in the camera.
As opposed to resetting the camera using Admin Menu > Reset conguration to
factory defaults, the user information will not be reset if the camera is booted using
the factory settings.
Starting the Camera with an Automatic IP Address (DHCP)
Starting the camera using boot option 3 and an automatic IP address (DHCP) is only
temporary. The network conguration of the camera can be permanently set to DHCP
(factory setting) under Admin Menu > Ethernet Interface.
Make sure that the network has a functioning DHCP server when starting the camera
with DHCP support. If this is not the case, the camera cannot obtain a valid IP address
and will use its last IP address.
You should also make sure that the cameras always obtain the same IP addresses by
permanently assigning the MAC addresses of the cameras to the desired IP addresses.
Tip : Briey pressing the key of the camera will announce the current IP address via the speaker.
Make sure you store
the default network
conguration to the per-
manent ash memory
In case of an error, the cam-
era uses its last IP address
