• When selecting "Register the IP address automatically given by this unit to a detected camera", an available IP address (not used for any device) will be assigned to the detected camera. However, the IP address used for other device may be assigned depending on the network environment (such when the firewall function of Windows XP is used). If the

IP address used for other device is assigned to the camera, check the IP addresses and assign an IP address to the camera manually.

• When selecting "Register the IP address automatically given by this unit to a detected camera" for a camera of which the "DHCP" setting is "On", the
