CAMERA CONFIGURATION SEQUENCE
Once the camera is installed and power is applied, the camera will start a configuration sequence: the green LED flashes five times per second
for approximately two minutes and then glows solid green, indicating that the boot cycle is complete and the camera is on line.
NOTE: If the camera is not connected to a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server and DHCP is enabled, the configuration sequence
might take up to five minutes to complete.
Refer to the following sections for more information:
• Network Tab on page 25
• Turning On DHCP on page 26
• Turning Off DHCP on page 26
