 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 interven
tion 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
Configuratio
n 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
conf
iguration)
• Automatic resolution and distribution of computer hostnames (multicast DNS)
• A
utomatic location of network services, such as printing devices through DNS service discovery.
Click the chec
k box to enable Zeroconf.
When the settings are complete, click Save, or click Reset to revert to previously saved settings.
