    Hi antinode, thanks for your quick response. Meanwhile I have found out that the IP camera has a different IP range than my network. No wonder then that I can not detect it. How did I fix it:

     

    • First I took a laptop and gave it an IP number that fell in the same range as the camera.
    • Then I found the camera and adjusted the IP address to that of my network.
    • Then I have detected the camera in my network and have been able to make the necessary adjustments in the camera.

    Thanks again for thinking along.

     

    Best Regards,
    Frans

   For any device which does not have a simple user interface (like,
say, an IP camera, or anything which lacks an actual keyboard and
display), there are advantages to using DHCP instead of a static address
(configured on the device itself).

   With DHCP, any new device should get a valid (local) address the
first time, and, if you need to specify a fixed address for the device,
then you can reserve an address for it on the DHCP server (typically on
the router).


   Glad to hear that you got it to work.
