Title: static ip settings prob
Post by: desire83 on April 24, 2014, 11:15:06 PM

hello again,
my router doesnt have the reserve ip address option...so i have to set my cameras on static ips..i set them within the range like 192.168.1.101, 102, 103...
but after setting them to static ip, i cant access them through my dlink account..the cameras appear offline..

Having same issue with my 942L  - I'm also using a 327L NAS for recording events - the problem is that if there is a power bump - the camera address changes (most times) but then the 327 does not record properly.  Would be better to have a fixed address for camera's to resolve this issue - but when they are fixed, mydlink.com will not access them,...

Does your router have the option to reserve IP addresses? What router make/model?

Are you keeping the IP address range within the valid range defined by the router?

I have this problem as well.

I am able to connect both of my DCS-930L cameras from mydlink.com if I set DHCP Connection enabled from camera Network Setup -> LAN Settings, but I don't want to use DHCP. Instead I want to use static IP address.
If I change LAN Settings to 'Static IP Address' and even if I set same IP Address which DHCP selected, I am not able to connect anymore to camera from mydlink.com. It says that camera is offline.
I have tried to set Subnet Mask and Default Gateway to same as my computer which is in same network, but still cannot connect to cameras if 'Static IP Address' is selected.

You should consider using a reserved IP address through your router rather than a static IP address configured through the camera.
