CHAPTER 1
Before proceeding with this chapter, you should have:
• Completed installation of Visionscape
• Suitably mounted and wired the VS-1 Smart Camera (see Chapter 2
of Visionscape® Smart Camera Guide)
Establishing a Network Connection and Making a
FrontRunner™ Device Button for Your Camera
This section assumes familiarity with basic wired networking concepts
such as IP addresses and DHCP servers. If these terms are not familiar,
please talk to your IT department and see "Setting Up Network
Communications" in the Visionscape® Smart Camera Guide.
A network connection is required to communicate with the VS-1 Smart
Camera. In order that the VS-1 Smart Camera be recognized, it must
have a valid IP address. As shipped, the VS-1 Smart Camera will try to
obtain an IP address from a DHCP server so, if your network is configured
for DHCP, you will be able to connect to your camera without changing
any settings. However, if your network requires a static IP address to be
assigned, or if you would like to use a cross-link cable, please see
