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 UPnPTM (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 43—page 44).
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.

 When finished, the following page is displayed. 
Note
The current network settings are shown on the Status page in the Maintenance 
section (see page 
135).
5.Click [Restart].
 The camera restarts, and the Top page is displayed.
 If the camera is restarted, all buffered images on the internal memory are 
deleted.
 Checking [Yes] for [Allow Access from the Internet] on [Automatic Setup] 
may not display the Top page, because the port number may change. Use 
the Setup Program to access the camera.

Note
When you do not know the camera IP address while setting [Automatic Setup] 
or [DHCP Setup], you can search it by using the Setup Program (see page 
160).
SettingDescription
Allow Access from 
the Internet 
(Automatic Setup 
Only) Allow Access from the Internet setting automatically 
configures the routers Port Forwarding setting (some 
routers call it Address Translation, Static IP 
Masquerade, Virtual Server or Port Mapping). To 
enable Internet access to the camera, check [Yes]. In this 
case, the camera automatically searches the unused port 
number on your network in the order from 50000 to 50050. 
To disable Internet access to the camera, check [No]. 
Network 
Configuration from 
Setup Program 
(Static/DHCP Only) If you prohibit the Setup Program from changing the 
network settings, clear the check box.
Port Number 
(Static/DHCP Only) The port number is 80 by default. When you use multiple 
cameras with a router on your network, each camera must 
be assigned its own port number (see page 
64 2.7.2 
Connecting the Camera to a Router Not Supporting 
UPnP™ (IPv4 Only)).
 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.
 Enter only the number (1—65535).
 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
 Subnet Mask
(Static Only)
 If your ISP or network administrator specifies the IP 
address and subnet mask, enter them in each data field.
 If you use the camera on the LAN, set the IP address in the 
same class as your PC (see page 
159).
 Set 4 digits (0—255) and 3 periods such as 
192.168.0.253. But 0.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.255 are 
not available.

Host Name
(DHCP Only)
 If your ISP uses the DHCP function which automatically 
assigns the IP address to the camera, enter the ISP-
assigned host name. (Host name may be used as an 
authentication.)
 Enter ASCII characters for the host name (see page 168). 
But [Space], [], [], [&], [] are not available.
Default Gateway*1
(Static/DHCP Only)
 If you have the assigned Default Gateway address by your 
ISP or network administrator, enter it in this data field.
 Set 4 digits (0—255) and 3 periods such as 
192.168.0.253. But 0.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.255 are 
not available.
DNS Server 
Address*1
(Static/DHCP Only)
 DNS server address is required in the following conditions.
– Transferring camera images by E-mail or FTP
– Setting cameras by their host names on the Multi-
Camera Setup page
– Using the DynamicDNS service
– Using the alarm log notification
 If you have the assigned DNS server addresses by your 
ISP or network administrator, enter them in this data field. 
They usually have two addresses.
 Set 4 digits (0—255) and 3 periods such as 
192.168.0.253. But 0.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.255 are 
not available.
Max. Bandwidth 
Usage The bandwidth can be restricted.
 Select the maximum bandwidth usage from [Unlimited] to 
[0.1 Mbps].
 This setting is valid in both IPv4/IPv6.
Note
Set the maximum bandwidth usage seeing the following 
file sizes. These are examples for a JPEG file with a 
standard image quality. File sizes may change depending 
on the image quality or how bright the object is.
160 x 120 pixels: About 3.5 KB (28 Kbit)
320 x 240 pixels: About 10 KB (80 Kbit)

2.3 Connecting the Camera to Your IPv6 Network
The Network page offers two 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 the 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.
