Static IP Network Configuration - PC
Navigate to:
Control Panel → Network and Internet → Network and Sharing Center → Change adapter settings
Right click on your network connection and chose Properties.
Then, find Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and open its Properties.
Select Use the following IP address and configure your network interface (card/adapter):
IP address:
172.28.60.2Subnet mask:
255.255.255.0
Caution
You might need to bring down and up your network interface after this step. Right click on your network connection, choose Disable, right click again and choose Enable.
Note
Capture time on Windows can occasionally be longer (about 1 second longer than normal) due to ethernet packet loss leading to data re-transmits. You can reduce the occurrence of packet loss by increasing receive and transmit buffers.
Navigate to Device Manager → Network adapters. Right click on your network adapter and press Properties. Under Advanced, increase Receive Buffers and Transmit Buffers.
To find these settings go to your network settings and then click on the cogwheel for the unconnected network interface (card/adapter). This should look approximately like the screenshot below if you are using Ubuntu 20.04.
Set up the network configuration in the IPv4 tab:
Set IPv4 Method to manual
Address to:
172.28.60.2Netmask to:
255.255.255.0
Caution
You might need to bring down and up your network interface after this step (set the first toggle button from the first screenshot to on and off).
Find current interfaces and configuration
$ ip addr

Current IP address is
172.21.96.50/24. That will not work if the IP address of the Camera is172.28.60.5.We will use netplan to update the IP address for this interface. First find your current configuration.
$ ls /etc/netplan
By default, you should see a .yaml file named something like 01-network-manager-all.yaml. Then list its contents, e.g.:
$ cat /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml # Let NetworkManager manage all devices on this system network: version: 2 renderer: NetworkManager
For safety, copy the file before you update the configuration as follows:
$ sudo nano /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml network: version: 2 renderer: networkd ethernets: eth0: dhcp4: no addresses: - 172.28.60.2/24 gateway4: 172.28.60.1Apply changes
$ sudo netplan apply
Verify that the IP address has been correctly updated
Example output for ip addrzivid@se-zivid-xps15:~$ ip addr 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 8: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 48:65:ee:1c:12:ba brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 172.28.60.2/24 brd 172.28.60.255 scope global noprefixroute eth0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::4a65:eeff:fe1c:12ba/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
Once you have configured both the camera and the PC you can open Zivid Studio and the camera will be found automatically.
Hint
The status LEDs at the back of the camera show the current link capacity.
