3.1.3 Automatically Using DHCP
The camera can automatically obtain its network parameters using DHCP. This requires the
network to have a functioning DHCP server (e.g. a DSL router with activated DHCP server)
and the camera must be booted using DHCP (see
Section 3.2.6, «Starting The Camera
With An Automatic IP Address (DHCP)»). The IP address automatically assigned by the
DHCP server can be announced via the speaker of an activated ExtIO that is connected
to the D25M 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 user interface.
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.
– The IP address must be determined by the administrator.
The ExtIO module
is available from
the MOBOTIX
accessories program
