Install the installation disk of the ipcamera. Configure the ipcamera base on your requirements. Then install the ipcamera on the position you require.
To set a static IP on the camera, do the following:
1. Chose an IP address for the camera that is outside your normal DHCP range but within your network subnet.
For example, if your router uses DHCP and gives out addresses in the range of 192.168.1.1 up to 192.168.1.10, you should chose an IP address beyond that (e.g. 192.168.1.20).
2. Login to your camera's current IP address and go to Setup -> Network setup
3. Turn off DHCP and type in the IP address that you chose into the configuration.
4. Restart your camera.
The above should fix your Static IP address question.
With regards to your Wireless question, you should make sure of the following:
1. Your router is set to broadcast its SSID
2. Your router is setup to use WPA (not WPA2)
3. Your AES password in the camera config is the same as that as the routers
Hello The D-Link DCS-3220 have DHCP, that means it gets a automatic address from your router. IT doesent have a STATIC ip, if you not set it manually.
To configure your D-Link DCS-3220 CAM and find the IP you need to install this program. Install Wizard You need to unpack it first.
Connect your computer and cam to same router and run the program. Then it should find your cam so you can configure it and see what ip it get your you set.
If you have configured Motion Detection then your problem may be because the camera only turns on when motion is detected. That is why it will seem as if the camera is dropping the connection.
If motion detection is not configured then you may be experiencing the same thing I have experienced. The camera does not record in full real time. It only gets snippets of information so the subject seems to jump from one place to another if they move fast. I guess this is a feature of IP cameras because they need to pass through the network with a lot of overheads. This is where good old CCTV cameras with their coaxial cables are best. They may be more difficult to install because of the cabling but their performance is a lot better
Plug in the network cable first and make sure the following settings are correct:
1. SSID is the same and set to broadcast
2. You are using the same WPA AES password as the router (or WEP password if you are using WEP)
3. The wireless antennae is connected
4. The camera is located not to far from the router
After that, remove the network cable and restart your camera.
Reset the camera by holding the reset button for 3 seconds (use a paper clip in the hole marked "Reset" on the back). The camera will then reset to all default settings, including an IP address of 192.168.0.20.
You need to check with your router vendor on how to setup DMZ or Port Forwarding for your DCS-5220 in your router. (For Port Forwarding, please open BOTH HTTP Port and RTSP Port and select the Protocol as TCP for HTTP Port and select the Protocol as TCP/UDP(Both) for RTSP Port.
