Network Setting

Device Network Configuration

Check the network status on the web Status > Info > Network Information interface.

Set the network connection on the web Network > Basic interface.

• DHCP: DHCP mode is the default network connection. If the DHCP mode is selected, then the device will be assigned by the DHCP server with an IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server address automatically.

• Static IP: When static IP mode is selected, the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server address have to be manually configured according to the actual network environment.

• IP Address: Set up the IP address when the static IP mode is selected. To access the device’s web settings with the IP, your computer should be on the same local network as the device.

• Subnet Mask: A subnet mask tells your device which IP addresses are part of your local network and which ones are not. For example, if the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, it means that devices with similar starting IPs (like 192.168.1.x) are in the same network.

• Default Gateway: The gateway is like a bridge between your device and other networks, such as the internet. Usually, it’s the IP address of your router.

• DNS Type: Domain Name System(DNS) type.

  • DDNS: Dynamic DNS. It is obtained automatically through the DHCP server.

  • Static DNS: When selected, you need to enter the DNS manually.

• Preferred/Alternate DNS Server: Domain Name System(DNS) is the overall system or network that handles the translation of domain names (like www.example.com) into IP addresses (like 192.0.2.1), which computers use to identify each other on a network. The device connects to the alternate DNS server when the primary one is unavailable.

Device Local RTP Configuration

Set it up on the web Network > Advanced interface.

• Starting RTP Port: Set the port value to establish the start point for the exclusive data transmission range.

• Max RTP Port: Set the port value to establish the endpoint for the exclusive data transmission range.

Device Web HTTP Setting

Set it up on the Network > Advanced interface.

• HTTPS Port: Specify the web server port for accessing the device web interface via HTTPS.

Device Deployment in Network

Set it up on the Network > Advanced interface.

• Connect Type: It is automatically set up according to the device connection with a specific server in the network, such as SDMC, Cloud, or None.

• Discovery Mode: Enabled by default. Available for None server mode. The device can be discovered by other devices in the network. When disabled, the device will be concealed and not discovered by other devices.

• Device Node: Available for None server mode. It can be used to call the device. Specify the device address by entering device location information from left to right: Community, Building, Unit, Floor, and Room in sequence.

• Device Extension: Available for None server mode. The device extension number ranges from 0 to 10.

• Device Location: The location where the device is installed and used.

Allowed Scanning Whitelist

You can limit devices from scanning the camera on the same LAN to enhance security.

Set it up on the Network > Advanced interface.

NAT Setting

Set it up on the web Account > Advanced > NAT interface.

• Enable RPort: Enable RPort when the SIP server is in a WAN.
