How To Set Up Ip Security Cameras

IP Camera Static IP Address Setup

This article documents the setup process to assign a static IP accost to a Viewtron IP photographic camera. After the initial network setup of your IP camera, it is important to permanently assign a LAN (local expanse network) IP accost to your camera. A static IP address will ensure that any IP camera software or mobile apps that connect to your camera will non loose connectivity if there is a power loss or if your camera is intentionally re-started. There are two methods to assign a static IP address to your Viewtron IP camera.

Router DCHP Reservation - If y'all are using a network router that supports DHCP reservation, this is the method that CCTV Camera Pros recommends.
Assign Static IP via IP Camera Firmware - If you lot can not reserve IP addresses on your router, and then you can switch the firmware of the IP camera from DHCP to static IP.

These instructions assume that y'all take already performed the initial network setup of your IP camera.

Please notation that the exact process, user interface, and terminology will vary depending on the make and model of the router that you are using. Each manufacturer is slightly unlike, but the concept are the same as with the TP-Link router that we tested with at CCTV Camera Pros.

DHCP Reservation on Router

On the router, navigate to Network -> DHCP Server.
The DHCP Server page displays a list of all the devices on the network that have been assigned an IP address by the router'south DHCP service.
Locate the entry for you IP camera.
On our TP-Link Router, there is a section just below the DHCP Client Listing for Accost Reservations.
Copy the MAC accost and IP accost into the reservation fields. Enter a name for your IP camera and check "enable this entry". Press OK.
The entry volition exist added to the DHCP reservation table.
Now if your IP camera or router reboots, the router knows that it should always assign this IP address to your camera.

Assign Static IP Address via Photographic camera Firmware

To access the firmware settings of Viewtron IP cameras, the camera is accessed via spider web browser. Delight note that video display is only supported by Internet Explorer, however, most of the camera'due south settings tin can exist accessed via Chrome and Safari also.

Open a web browser and navigate to the IP address of your camera.
