Host
The section “Host” allows the administrator to define the name of the
camera and preferred user interface language.
There are two kinds of names – Host Name and Camera Name.
Host Name is used to identify the camera by a DHCP server. In some networks with very strict security
policy, it is required that all the network devices should have their host name, and when the devices
attempt to access the network by requesting an IP address from a DHCP server, the DHCP server would
check if the host name is among the allowed devices. On this page, it is possible to edit the Host Name.
To actually include the Host Name in DHCP discovery packet sent from a camera, please go to IP Settings
and make sure the device is in Dynamic IP Address mode and “Use host name” is checked.
Camera Name is used to identify the device by Video Management System or by Software Tools. Usually,
upon installation of the camera, the actual installation location is used as an easy-to-remember Camera
Name, such as “Front Gate” or “Elevator 1”. In many cases, the VMS is able to modify the Camera Name
directly via its own user interface without needing to access Web Configurator.
Language selection under Host has the same purpose as the one on the login page of Web Configurator.
After changing any of the items above, press Apply to save the changes. The Reset button undoes the
changes that had just been made but not applied yet.
