Automatic IP Assignment (DHCP)
NetCam SC 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 SC. Before you can access
the camera, you will need to know which IP address was assigned. Use
the StarDot Tools software to find the camera's IP address.
Automatic IP Assignment (zeroconf)
If no DHCP server is present, the NetCam SC will automatically
assign itself a "zeroconf" IP address, which will always start with
169.254. You can temporarily assign your computer a similar address
and use StarDot Tools to find the camera's IP address and assign it
a new permanent IP address. To do so, give your PC the IP address
169.254.100.100 with a subnet of 255.255.0.0. Use the StarDot Tools
software to find the camera's IP address.
Manual IP Assignment
If you want to assign the camera 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 (obtain from ISP)
If you are installing the camera on a company network, you will probably
want to get this information from the system administrator.
If NetCam SC is connected to a network with a DHCP server and
your computer is not running Windows, you can log into your router (or
whatever is acting as your DHCP server) and view the DHCP clients
table. NetCam SC will have a MAC address starting with 00:30:F4.
Take note of the IP address and enter it in your web browser. Click on
the configuration link, visit the network tab and assign the camera a
manual IP address (outside of the router's DHCP range).
