IP-based camera access: background
In order to access a camera (or any other device) in the network, it is necessary
that the camera and also the Network Interface Card (NIC) have a valid IP
address. Every device in the network must have a unique IP address.
The following graphic illustrates the assembling of such network:
The chosen IP addresses and the way the devices are connected in the illustra-
tion above are just an example. It is also possible to connect the camera directly
to a PC/notebook.
The following subchapters describe which IP addresses can be used and how
they are obtained.
In order to work properly with an AVT GigE camera consider the following:

Note

• AVT recommends to realize machine vision applications
on standalone computers only. So you avoid
interference with non-vision applications.
• Mixed uses may be possible, but this adds complexity,
requires involving your corporate IT team, and may yield
sub-optimal results.
• Firewalls may block the communication with the camera.
In these cases ask your local IT department to disable the
firewall for one NIC. Similar issues may happen with
antivirus solutions.
