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 rst 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 conguration is needed. One negative of DHCP
mode is not knowing which IP address NetCam was given. Use the StarDot
Tools software to nd 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
