1.5An Overview of Network Connectivity

A LAN or network connection is the simplest configuration for NetCam. NetCam simply needs an IP address (and other networking parameters) to make the live images and configuration 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 Configuration 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 find 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)
