Connection diagram

The connection between the controller and the camera is in the same LAN and ensures that network segment of IP address is consistent.
For example:
192.168.1.123 and 192.168.1.111 belong to the same network segment.
192.168.1.123 and 192.168.0.125 don’t belong to the same network segment so you need to modify the IP address of the controller or the camera. The default mode which controller gets IP is dynamically obtained.
