3.5.1 Host

Parameters
Host Name Host Name is used to identify the camera by a DHCP server. In some
networks with very strict security policy, it is required that all the network
devices should have their host name, and when the devices attempt to
access the network by requesting an IP address from a DHCP server, the
DHCP server would check if the host name is among the allowed devices.
On this page, it is possible to edit the Host Name. To actually include the
Host Name in DHCP discovery packet sent from a camera, please go to IP
Settings and make sure the device is in Dynamic IP Address mode and
"Use host name" is checked.
Language Language selection under Host has the same purpose as the one on the
login page of Web Configuration.
