Can Alarm.com video devices be configured with a static IP address?
Yes. Alarm.com video cameras and video servers can be configured to use static IP addresses, but the 2GIG HD100 video camera cannot be configured that way.
For more information about configuring Alarm.com video devices with a static IP address, see Configure Alarm.com video devices with a static IP address.
Note: DHCP (dynamic IP assignment) is needed initially to enroll the video devices.
For more information about setting fixed IP addresses, see Use a fixed IP address for a video device.
