Operating Instructions 31[For assistance, please call: 1-800-272-7033] • When viewing video (Motion JPEG), we recommend using an Ethernet ® switching hub instead of the repeater hub to prevent degradation in video display. • Due to the network congestion or the number of accesses, the refresh interval may slow down. • When the refresh interval is slow, restrict the bandwidth on the Network page (see page 43 and page 47). The refresh interval may be improved. • To reduce the data traffic, the video can be automatically changed to refreshing still images on the General User page (see page 74). • When viewing 4 cameras on the Multi-Camera page, you may need 3 to 4 Mbps bandwidth. If the bandwidth is not enough, the refresh interval may slow down. When the image is not displayed on the Multi-Camera page • Confirm that the Internet IP address is specified for each camera and that each camera is connected to the Internet. For Internet access, local IP addresses (192.168.xxx.xxx) cannot be used. • Confirm the settings on the Multi-Camera Setup page (see page 79). • Confirm that the web browser is not accessing the proxy server (see page 136).

Operating Instructions 40 2.2 Connecting the Camera to Your IPv4 Network The Network page offers three options to configure the camera in IPv4. • [Automatic Setup] automatically assigns an unused IP address to the camera, and uses UPnP TM (Universal Plug and Play) to configure your router. • [Static] allows the user to use a specific IP address. • [DHCP] is offered for ISPs who require this option. 1.Click [Network (IPv4)] on the Setup page. 2.Click a connection mode. • Each page is displayed (see page 40—page 41). 3.Enter each parameter in the proper data field. Automatic Setup The camera automatically obtains the network settings (subnet mask, default gateway and DNS server address) utilizing a DHCP feature on the router. The camera also automatically searches the unused IP address on your network. If you select [Yes] at the Allow Access from the Internet, the camera automatically enables port forwarding by using UPnP TM. In this case, the camera automatically searches the unused port number on your network in the order from 50000 to 50050. • Clicking [Cancel] takes you back to the previous page without saving changes. Normally sets Automatic Setup. Uses a static IP address. Uses ISP DHCP server function.
