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.
As soon as startup has been completed, the camera automatically announces its IP
address, its network mask and its MAC address. Please note that this feature needs to be
activated for this to work.
Note that this announcement function can be deactivated
(Admin Menu> Loudspeaker and Microphone).
Proceed as follows to start the camera using DHCP:
• Remove the outer shell using the supplied
custom tool (see section 2.14,
Dismantling the
Camera
).
• 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 the LEDs 0 (bottom) and 5 (right)
are lighting up simultaneously.
• Now hold the magnetic side of the custom tool onto the spot above the
microphone labeled L in the figure (the switch is inside the camera housing).
• Only remove the custom tool when the camera plays a double sound
(“Boing, Boing”).
• After about another 10 seconds, the camera will announce the network
parameters.
You can now access the camera using the IP address it just announced.

If you would like to have a running camera repeat its network settings,
simply activate the "L" key once using the magnetic side of the custom
tool.
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
known IP address.
