DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automatically assigns IP addresses to network devices. In CCTV, it simplifies setup but may change IPs, affecting remote access.
This is an acronym for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This is a function that allows a network to automatically assign an IP address to a PC when the user logs on to the system. All devices on a network require an IP address. DHCP does this automatically. The alternative is to manually enter a static IP address in each device.
