First Images and the Most Important Settings

Starting the Camera with Factory (Network) Settings

If you use boot option 2 to load the factory conguration, this conguration 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)

If you use boot option 3 to start the camera with an automatic IP address (DHCP),

this 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.

Hint:

Briey pressing the L key will prompt the camera to announce its current IP address

on the camera 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
