If you are installing two or more new cameras on the same local network, you need to change the factory default IP address of each camera to prevent IP address overlap. The supplied “Auto IP Setup” software frees you from this burden by automatically assigning a unique IP address to each camera on your network.

Before setting up the IP addresses automatically, click the [Search Cameras] button in the utility window to search all cameras on the network and display the address settings and details of each camera.

###### 1Status

NEW: | The camera has the default IP address (“192.168.0.2”). Assign a unique IP address.
OK: | The camera has a unique IP address and can be connected successfully to network.
CAUTION: | The camera cannot be connected successfully to the network because of IP address overlap or other reason. Change the IP address.

###### 2Number of searched cameras (Total and by status)

###### 3Camera details

“Model name”, “IP Address”, “Port”, “SSL”, “Camera Title”, and “Firmware Version” are not shown if the network board or other hardware is not supported.

“IP Address”, “Port”, “SSL”, and “Camera Title” are editable. (Refer to the “Manually Setting Up IP Addresses of Existing Cameras” section.)

###### 4 Camera Image button

Select the desired camera row and click this button. Then, video from the camera appears in a separate window.

Use it to check which camera is selected or when editing the camera title or other data.

###### 5 Web Browser button

Select the desired camera row and click this button. Then, the Web browser opens and connects to the camera automatically.

### Automatically Setting Up IP Addresses of New Cameras

1Insert the supplied CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of your PC.

The opening menu appears.

2Click [Auto IP Setup].

The utility window opens so that you can search cameras.

If you encounter a firewall confirmation dialog box, disable the firewall so that your PC can communicate with the camera.

3Click Search Cameras.

The utility searches all cameras on the local network and shows information on each camera one after another.

The above screenshot shows an example when your PC is connected to 10 cameras.

4Click Auto setting and, in the address range selection dialog box, click EXECUTE.

The utility automatically assigns a series of new IP addresses, starting from the start address.

The dialog box initially shows, as the start IP address, the IP address to be assigned to the first camera that has a status of “NEW”.
To specify your own address range, type both the start and end IP addresses.

The utility automatically assigns an IP address to each camera located in the LAN, but not beyond the router.

It skips any IP address that is already used.

### Manually Setting Up IP Addresses of Existing Cameras

If you find that the searched cameras have overlapping IP addresses (indicated by a status of “CAUTION”) or if you need to change a camera title, you can edit the displayed camera data manually as described below.

1Select the desired camera and click Manual setting.

The camera information dialog box opens.

2Make changes to the camera data and click EXECUTE.

This transmits your changes to the camera.

You can see the problem of IP address overlap has been resolved in the [Status] row of the list, which has been changed from “CAUTION” to “OK”.

You cannot change the model name.

If your login user name and password has been changed from the factory default settings, you will be presented with an authentication check dialog box. In this case, type the current user name and password.

If SSL communication is enabled for the selected camera, you cannot edit the camera data. Change the SSL and port number settings in the authentication check dialog box.
