Network Settings

The Network Settings page controls how the SimplTrack3 connects to your local network and synchronizes its internal clock.

LAN Settings

Controls the camera's IP configuration on the local network.

Setting	Description
IP Configuration Type	DHCP: Camera receives an IP address automatically from your router/DHCP server; Static IP: Camera uses a manually assigned static IP address.
IP Address	The camera's current IP address (read-only in DHCP mode).
Subnet Mask	Network subnet mask (read-only in DHCP mode).
Gateway	Router/gateway IP address (read-only in DHCP mode).
DNS Address	DNS server address (read-only in DHCP mode).
MAC Address	Hardware MAC address (read-only).
DHCP Timeout	How long (in seconds) the camera waits for a DHCP address before falling back to the static fallback address (read-only).
Static Fallback Address	IP address used if DHCP times out.
Static Fallback Mask	Subnet mask for the fallback address.
Static Fallback Gateway	Gateway used with the fallback address.

Static vs. DHCP

For permanent installations (conference rooms, studios, houses of worship), a DHCP reservation is recommended. This assigns a consistent IP address to the camera based on its MAC address, ensuring reliable access without manual network configuration.

NTP Settings

Network Time Protocol keeps the camera's internal clock synchronized with an external time server.

Setting	Options	Description
NTP Time Sync	Off / On	Enables or disables NTP clock synchronization.
NTP Time Zone	UTC offset (-12:00 to +14:00)	Select your local time zone.
Server Address	time.windows.com, time.apple.com, Custom NTP	The NTP server to synchronize with. Select Custom NTP to enter a custom server address.
Time Interval	Numeric (seconds)	How frequently the camera syncs its clock with the NTP server (default: 64 seconds).
