The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network configuration protocol that allows a
device to configure automatically according to the network it is connected to.
If your network supports DHCP and your MEGAPIX camera is set to DHCP, IP Finder will
automatically find and set your MEGAPIX camera to correspond with your network requirements.

Static IP addresses are recommended when using a network that does not support DHCP or when
setting your device to be accessed externally via the internet. If Static is selected, you must
manually enter the correct network settings for your MEGAPIX camera. The settings will
correspond with your network. To set your camera to a static IP address, we recommend that you
(1) setup the camera to DHCP, (2) allow it to configure itself according to your network, and (3)
change the settings to a static IP address.
