Camera control” is selected for the access level, the PCs whose IP address is between “192.168.0.1” - “192.168.0.254” can access the camera with the access level “2. Camera control”.
When the IP address already in use is entered and the [Set] button is clicked, the respective host information will be overwritten.
A “Set address” error message is displayed if the IP address of the PC has not been set properly. Check the set IP address of the PC again.
