Zeroconfig
Zeroconfig allows the network camera to create and assign IP address for network cameras and
connect to a network automatically.
Zero configuration networking (zeroconf), is a set of techniques that automatically creates a usable
Internet Protocol (IP) network without manual operator intervention or special configuration servers.
Zero configuration networking allows devices such as computers and printers to connect to a network
automatically. Without zeroconf, a network administrator must set up services, such as Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS), or configure each computer's
network settings manually, which may be difficult and time-consuming.
Zeroconf is built on three core technologies:
•
Assignment of numeric network addresses for networked devices (link-local address auto
configuration)
•
Automatic resolution and distribution of computer hostnames (multicast DNS)
•
Automatic location of network services, such as printing devices through DNS service discovery.
