Setting Up the ComputerDHCP Vs Static IP
DHCP means “Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol”, and for our purpose means that the IP (Internet Protocol) Address is set automatically by a Gateway or Router when you connect your Computer up to the InternetStatic IP Addresses are Manually set.DHCP IP Address can change as they are automatically set, you take a computer off-line and add it back later after others have joined the Network and your address will not be the same.Static IP Addresses do not change. This is Important to us because we want our Camera/Server to always have the same address so we can easily find it on the Network.
