5 Mega-pixel Outdoor IR PoE Fisheye IP Camera
ICA-E8550

3.9 IP Settings

The IP Settings section provides the options to define how the camera would obtain its IP
address, and to which DNS server should the camera connect, in order to resolve domain
names.

3.9.1 Connection Type

The Connection Type allows defining the method of obtaining the IP address of the camera.
By default, the camera is in Dynamic IP Address mode and attempts to get the IP address
from a DHCP server. If such attempt fails after several seconds (for example, the DHCP
server does not exist), the camera will automatically assign itself an IP address, listed under
the Static IP Address.
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 and enable or disable the use of host
name.
