3.8 Network Properties
The Network Properties page contains all the IP configuration
information for setting up NetCam on a network. After making changes,
click the Apply button to save the settings in the camera.
Ethernet
If your network is Ethernet-based (LAN, cable modem, DSL), use the
NET port on the back of NetCam to access the camera. The first step to
network access is assigning NetCam an IP address. There are two ways in
which this can be done: automatically (DHCP) or manually.
IP Assignment
DHCP
By default, NetCam comes up in DHCP mode, meaning that it probes
the network for a DHCP server. If there is a DHCP server on the network,
NetCam is automatically assigned an IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and
name servers. No manual configuration is needed. One negative of DHCP
mode is not knowing which IP address NetCam was given. Use the StarDot
Tools software to find DHCP-assigned NetCams on your local network.
Manual
If you’d like to manually assign NetCam an IP address, set NetCam to
Manual IP Assignment and provide the following information:
• IP Address - The IP address you’d like to assign the camera.
Consult your network administrator to determine which IP address
