By default, DHCP is enabled on the camera and a DHCP server on the network
assigns the camera an IP address. For example, if the camera is managed by a
FLIR Horizon or Meridian VMS and the VMS is configured as a DHCP server, the
VMS automatically assigns the camera an IP address.
If the camera is managed by a FLIR Latitude VMS or is on a network with static IP
addressing, you can manually specify the camera’s IP address using the DNA tool
or the camera's web page. The camera's default IP address is 192.168.0.250.
