1.5 An Overview of Network Connectivity
A LAN or network connection is the simplest conguration for NetCam.
NetCam simply needs an IP address (and other networking parameters) to
make the live images and conguration menus accessible from any web
browser on the network. There are two ways NetCam can be assigned an
IP address: automatically or manually.
Automatic IP Assignment (DHCP)
NetCam is shipped in an automatic IP assignment mode called DHCP
(Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol). If your network has a DHCP server
(in most cases, a router), it will automatically assign the necessary network
parameters to NetCam. Before you can access the camera, you will need
to know which IP address was assigned to NetCam. Use the StarDot Tools
software to nd NetCam’s IP address.
Manual IP Assignment
If you want to assign NetCam a permanent IP address, you will need
the following information:
• IP Address (example: 192.168.1.5)
• Subnet Mask (example: 255.255.255.0)
• Gateway (example: 192.168.1.1)
• DNS Servers (example: 24.1.179.1, 24.1.179.2)
