Automatically Using Dhcp - Mobotix Q24M User Manual

Manual and Automatic Operation – Overview

3.1.3 Automatically Using DHCP

The camera can automatically obtain its network parameters using DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol). This requires the network to have a functioning DHCP server (for
example, a DSL router with activated DHCP server) and the camera must be booted using
DHCP (see Section 3.2.7, «Starting The Camera With An Automatic IP Address (DHCP)» ). The
IP address automatically assigned by the DHCP server will be announced via the camera
speaker as soon as the camera has booted successfully.
Advantages
– You can connect the camera directly to the target network.
– Network parameters are automatically assigned.
– No additional software is required.
– You do not need to access the camera software.
Disadvantages
– The camera needs to be physically accessible as you need to press a key on the
camera housing to boot it using DHCP.
– Requires a running DHCP server on the network.
