APPENDIX F: Network configuration of RTSP cameras in an IPerCom system
The RTSP cameras are not IPerCom devices and therefore special attention must be paid to their
configuration. The most delicate aspect concerns the IP address assignment, which is a parameter to be
manually entered during configuration (unlike IPerCom devices, where the IP address is automatically
assigned by a router or the configurator).
This can cause misalignment problems between the IP address set manually during configuration and the
actual camera address. For example, if the IP addresses are provided to the various devices by a router
connected to the system, after a prolonged blackout, the RTSP Cameras may have an IP address other than
the one previously set and this may cause a camera malfunction.
To avoid such malfunctions, RTSP cameras should always have a static and never dynamic addressing.
It must also be ensured that the IP address statically assigned to the RTSP Cameras is not among those
already assigned (automatically or manually) to the IPerCom devices.
To avoid malfunctions due to the above, below are some examples of how to proceed to correctly
configure the IP address of the RTSP Cameras.
RTSP cameras configured by installer
This is the case where both network and RTSP camera configurations are managed by the installer.
Case 1: IPerCom system without router and manual addressing
It is strictly recommended to follow this example for the correct configuration as it has no difficulty and
everything is done automatically by the IPerCom configurator. In the System tab of the configurator in the
Network Settings section, select the Manual item and then define a lower and a higher IP address with a
network mask, DNS and gateway value. An example is given below:
