Static IP Network Configuration - Camera
Caution
The correct instructions for network configuration will depend on your SDK version. Choose your SDK version in the top left drop-down.
The CLI tool ZividNetworkCameraConfigurator
allows you to change the camera network configuration of one camera at a time.
This tool is installed alongside the Zivid SDK on Windows, and with the Zivid Tools package on Ubuntu.
Open a terminal/Command Prompt.
Connect the camera.
Verify that your camera is found by running:
ZividListCameras.exe
ZividListCameras
Set the camera with current IP
<host>
in static IP mode with a specific IP address<ip>
, subnet mask<mask>
and gatewaygateway
:ZividNetworkCameraConfigurator.exe set-config <host> --static --ip <ip> --subnet-mask <mask> --gateway <gateway>
ZividNetworkCameraConfigurator set-config <host> --static --ip <ip> --subnet-mask <mask> --gateway <gateway>
Caution
If you are configuring a camera with firmware from SDK 2.9 and below, the IP of the PC must first be in the local subnet range of the camera. Go to Static IP Network Configuration - PC to do this.
For example, changing the static IP from
172.28.60.5
to172.28.60.6
:ZividNetworkCameraConfigurator.exe set-config 172.28.60.5 --static --ip 172.28.60.6 --subnet-mask 255.255.255.0 --gateway 172.28.60.1
ZividNetworkCameraConfigurator set-config 172.28.60.5 --static --ip 172.28.60.6 --subnet-mask 255.255.255.0 --gateway 172.28.60.1
Caution
When changing static IP, make sure it is not colliding with something else on your network.
If you are configuring IP addresses of multiple cameras, repeat steps 2 to 4 with a different IP address for each camera. For each camera, remember to use an IP address within the same subnet range of its interfacing network card.
If you used IP address(es) outside the default subnet range, e.g.,
192.168.100.23
with gateway192.168.100.1
, you need to change your network interface configuration again. To do that, follow Static IP Network Configuration - PC steps but with the IP address in the same subnet range as the camera(s), e.g.,192.168.100.2
and gateway192.168.100.1
.
You have now configured the camera(s) with a specific static IP address. If the camera(s) IP is in a different subnet range than the PC, go to Static IP Network Configuration - PC before going onwards. If it is in the same subnet range, go to Connecting to the camera.
