Start the delivered script and display an overview of the smart camera. Select a smart camera
and access its URL via web browser.
Start a local instance of the ICS server (offline version) and connect with "localhost" via web
browser. Then select the desired smart camera in the browser.
Call up a central but local instance in the intranet. This is where a small web server is running,
which identifies all smart cameras in the local network via Avahi and makes them available for
selection.
10.3.3.2
Server uses a Zero-Conf address and a fixed IP in an external subnet
The client then also has to use a Zero-Conf address (set "dynamic IP address" under Windows with
no DHCP server in the network). This can be achieved by connecting the camera directly to the
client PC. The second or third solution from
"Server and client live in the same subnet (e.g. DHCP
or fixed IP)"
can then be used.
10.3.3.3
Server and client live in different IP subnets
The mDNS packages are not transmitted beyond subnet boundaries as standard. The possible
solutions are:
An additional (Linux) computer, which connects both subnets, i.e. has access to both subnets
and is configured so that it forwards mDNS queries to the other subnet (=Avahi reflector), is
required.
