 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 33). The refresh interval may be improved.
 If the video (Motion JPEG) display is limited (see page 52), the video will 
be changed to refreshing still images.
 To reduce the data traffic, the video (Motion JPEG) can be automatically 
changed to refreshing still images (see page 52).
 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 55).
 Confirm that the web browser is not accessing the proxy server (see page 
103).

2.2 Connecting the Camera to Your Network
The Network page offers three options to configure the camera.
 [Automatic Setup] automatically assigns an unused IP address to the camera, 
and uses UPnP 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] on the Setup page.
2.Select a connection mode.
 Each page is displayed (see page 30—page 31).
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. 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.
