Assigning an IP Address
The device automatically obtains an IP address when it is connected to a network.
Note:
If the device cannot obtain an IP address from a DHCP server, it will use Zero Configuration
Networking (Zeroconf) to choose an IP address. When set using Zeroconf, the IP address is in the
169.254.0.0/16 subnet.
The IP address settings can be changed using one of the following methods:
l
Device's web browser interface: http://
<camera IP address>/
.
l
Network Video Management software application (for example, the Avigilon Control Center™
software).
l
