2.3 Connecting the Camera to Your IPv6 Network
The Network page offers three options to configure the camera in IPv6.
• [Automatic Setup] automatically assigns an IPv6 address to the camera.
• [Static] allows the user to use a specific IPv6 address.
Note
IPv6 is the expanded protocol created for future Internet expansion. Your 
network and your ISP must support IPv6 before you can use this feature.
1.Click [Network (IPv6)] on the Setup page.
2.Click a connection mode.
3.Enter each parameter in the proper data field.
Automatic Setup
The camera is automatically assigned an IPv6 prefix from the IPv6 router, and 
produces the original IPv6 address from the IPv6 prefix. If you select [No] at 
the Allow Access from the Internet, the camera can be accessed only from the 
LAN that has an same IPv6 prefix as the camera.
• Clicking [Cancel] takes you back to the previous page without saving 
changes.
Normally sets Automatic Setup.
Uses a static IP address.

you can search it on the Status page (see page 107) after accessing the 
camera in IPv4.
• If the camera is restarted, all buffered images on the internal memory are 
deleted. The buffered images on the SD memory card are not deleted.
Setting Description
Allow Access from 
the Internet 
(Automatic Setup 
Only)• If [Yes] is selected at the Allow Access from the Internet, 
you can access the camera from the Internet. If [No] is 
selected, the camera can be accessed only from the LAN 
that has an same IPv6 prefix as the camera.
Port Number (Static 
Only)• The port number is 80 by default. The port number must be 
unique for each terminal on your network.
• Do not set the following port numbers.
E.g., FTP: 20 and 21, Telnet: 23, SMTP: 25, DNS: 53, 
POP3: 110, HTTPS: 443, ICQ: 4000 and IRC: 6661—
6667.

• Some ISPs do not allow you to use port 80. Ask your ISP 
or network administrator about the accessible port number 
over the Internet.
IP address
(Static Only)• Enter a global address. You do not need to enter prefix 
length.
• IPv6 address consists of 8 hexadecimal digits divided with 
":". Consecutive 0s can be abbreviated as "::". (E.g. 
fe80:2:3:4:5:6::8)
Default Gateway
(Static Only)• If you have the assigned Default Gateway IPv6 address by 
your ISP or network administrator, enter it in this data field.
• IPv6 address consists of 8 hexadecimal digits divided with

4.Click [Save] when finished.
• New settings are saved.
5.Click [Cancel].
• The IPsec page is displayed.
6.Check [Use] in the IPsec column, check encoding strength, and click [Save].  Setting Description
Status • Check the box to use this encryption method.
Pre-Shared Key • It is the key to use in the authentication of communications. 
Enter the same pre-shared key as your PC.
Note
If the pre-shared key leaks to a third party, it may lead to illegal 
access, private information leak or interference. To protect your 
security and privacy, pay attention to the following points.
• Make it known only to the specified people.
• Set it as many characters as possible.
• Change the password regularly.
Setting Description
IPsec • Check the box to enable IPsec features. If you clear the 
box, whole IPsec features will be invalid.
Encoding strength• Encoding strength for IPsec can be selected. If you select 
[Standard], DES or NULL is valid as an algorithm, and then 
the data will become easier to be decrypted.
