IP Camera, how to detect it on the network? [closed]

Answer 1

It sounds like it uses DHCP (otherwise it wouldn't be on your network at ALL).

I use this tool all the time:

The "Discovery API" would be to listen on DHCP port 68 when the camera tries to connect to the network. I'd just take a Wireshark trace, or use the above-referenced ip-scan tool.
