different subnet from that of the Viewer.
[IPv6 Address (Auto)]
If [Enable] is specified in [IPv6] and [Enable] is specified in [Auto (RA)] and  [Auto (DHCPv6)], then the automatically 
acquired address will be shown.
Note
In an environment where IPv6 cannot be used, and IPv6/Auto is set to [Enable], then only the link-l ocal address will be displayed in the 
[IPv6 Address (Auto)] field.

blank.
You must set at least one if you manually  set the IPv4 address or IPv6 address.

[Use DHCP/DHCPv6]
The camera time is synchronized with the time of the NTP se rver at the address acquired from the DHCP server or 
DHCPv6 server.
If the NTP server (address) can be acquired from both  the DHCP server (IPv4) and DHCPv6 server, the NTP server 
address acquired from the DHCP server (IPv4) will be used.
[ Synchronize with NTP broadcast] 
The camera will synchronize time with NTP br oadcasts received from the NTP server.
The camera’s NTP broadcast mode does not support IPv6.
[ Synchronize with computer time] 
The date and time will be synchronized with that of the comp uter currently accessing the camera. After clicking [Apply], 
[Setting Method] will change to [Set manually].
