Connect Camera

The SLOW software will always perform a UDP broadcast when started on any available network interfaces that are active. The network will assign the camera an IP address if a DHCP servier is running, and if not the camera will auto-negotiate a link local address.

If for any reason the software does not detect the camera, the 'Connect Camera' features can be used to attempt to find cameras on the network.

These features can be accessed by clicking on the 'Add' button   Add Button   found at the top of the Navigation pane
