IDS peak Cockpit: Setting a persistent IP address for GigE cameras
This video explains how to set a persistent (fixed) IP address on an IDS GigE camera and why this configuration is essential for stable, reliable machine vision setups. You’ll learn the exact steps required to configure your network interface card (NIC) and camera using IDS peak Cockpit.
We walk through IP configuration on a Windows system, including how to select the correct adapter, adjust IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4) settings, and understand subnet masks. The video also highlights recommended performance settings - such as jumbo frames and receive buffers - and shows how to apply and confirm a persistent IP within IDS peak Cockpit. This guide ensures your IDS GigE camera is correctly set up for consistent operation across reboots and network changes.
