IP settings: preliminary considerations
There are several different ways the camera may get its IP address. Please refer
to the following subchapters to choose the best solution for your application.
Please also refer to Chapter
General tips for setting IP addresses on page 16 for
additional information how to set an IP address for a NIC (Network Interface
Card).
Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP)
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is used to set the IP address of a net-
work device (the camera) dynamically by an external DHCP server. If your LAN
already uses a DHCP server you only have to connect the camera to the LAN and
the IP configuration is done automatically. Please contact your local network
administrator regarding DHCP.
Link Local Address (LLA)
The Link Local Address scheme (Zero Configuration Networking or Automatic
Private IP Addressing) is the easiest way to set the IP address. The IP address of
the camera is automatically set without any external server. In order to use this
method the IP address of the NIC just has to be obtained automatically (see
Chapter
Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP) on page 12)
Example: PC 192.168.101.21 Set by the DHCP server automat-
ically after every PC power up.
Camera 192.168.101.198 Set by the DHCP server automat-
ically after every camera power up.
Example: PC 169.254.1.1 Set automatically after PC power
up.
Camera 169.254.1.152 Set automatically after every
camera power up to a random
number within the subnet.
