3.3.5 Starting the Camera With an Automatic IP Address (DHCP)
If your network has a DHCP server, you can start the camera with DHCP support. In
this case, the DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address.
Once startup has been completed, the camera automatically announces its IP
address, its network mask and its MAC address. Note that this announcement
function can be deactivated (Admin Menu> Loudspeaker and Microphone).
Proceed as follows to start the camera using DHCP:
• If the camera is powered on, disconnect the power supply of the camera by
unplugging the corresponding cable.
• Reconnect power to the camera and observe the LEDs.
• Wait until both LEDs are lighting up simultaneously for the first time.
• Press the camera's "R" key within four seconds. Make sure that you use a
paper clip and avoid using sharp or pointed objects.
• After about two more seconds, the camera plays a sound ("Boing, Boing").
• After about another 15 seconds, the camera will announce its network data,
provided it has audio functionality.
You can now access the camera using the IP address it just announced and
using the list of Bonjour-enabled devices.

Activate the camera
speaker!
Announce IP address:
Press "R" key
In case of an error, the
camera uses its last IP
address
Caution
When starting the camera with DHCP support, make sure that the net-
work has a properly functioning DHCP server. If this is not the case,
the camera cannot obtain a valid IP address and will fall back to its last
IP address.
You should also make sure that the cameras always get the same IP
addresses by mapping the MAC addresses of the cameras to the
desired IP addresses
Note
If you would like to have a running camera repeat its network settings,
simply press the "R" key once.
Press "R" key
