The Bardi camera is a smart camera that connects directly to a Wi-Fi network and your smartphone. However, you can connect it to other devices, such as an NVR or DVR, to view the camera feed on a larger screen. To ensure a stable connection, the best approach is to change the Bardi camera’s IP address from DHCP to static. This prevents the IP address from changing on its own and causing the Bardi camera’s connection to the NVR or DVR to be interrupted.
In this article, you’ll find an easy way to change the IP address settings for your Bardi camera from DHCP to static.
Bardi Cameras Are Easier to Identify Using a Static IP Address
If you have multiple Bardi cameras connected to an NVR, you should set all the cameras to static IP addresses.
This will ensure a smooth connection between the camera and the NVR and make it easier for you to manage the camera on the NVR. If you are still using DHCP, the IP address will most likely change when the camera restarts. Because the IP address changes, any camera connected to the NVR using the previous IP address will be disconnected since the camera now has a new IP address.
How I Changed My IP Camera’s IP Address to a Static One in Just a Few Minutes
You can change the Bardi camera’s IP address from DHCP to static directly through the camera settings in the app. So make sure you already have the Bardi Smart Home app. The company does not provide an IP configuration tool like the SADP Tool.
Open the Bardi Smart Home app.
Log in to the Bardi app using your registered account. You’ll then be automatically redirected to the dashboard page.
Tap on the camera.
Next, a live camera view will appear. Tap the three dots in the top right corner to enter the settings page.
Scroll down on the camera settings page, then tap on the ONVIF menu.
Tap on Mode to select the mode, change the mode from Dynamic IP to Static IP. Tap the Confirm button to save.
