What does Bonjour mean in on the camera in network section?

It's a network device/service discovery protocol. Search Google and you'll find. Though they don't use it, think along the lines of the Dahua/Hikvision camera discovery tools. Typically don't need it for cams. Maybe if you need to tie into Apple's Homekit.

Thank You very much!

I have never owned Apple so after a read compliments of @ Mike A. I understand!
Once more thank you for a hint at where and what to look for.

It also doubles as the French word for good day

I clump it in with the PnP items of network "stuff" and disable items not used.

I hear ya...my Vietnam service was in Naval Aviation and IIRC, that was before the MRE as we know it today. The Navy had plenty of acronyms but the aviation section took it to a new level what with TACAN, ADF, IFF, BCM, ILS, REIL, etc. I've forgotten more than I can recall. Most folks understand where RADAR, SONAR, SCUBA comes from and what it means but some use and don't know about FUBAR or SNAFU.

One of the TLA's you didn't want to hear was STD.

And being married to a retired RN that was active for 25 years presents another whole realm of TLA's.....HIV, AIDS, MRSI, MRI, ALS, EKG, etc.

I'm just grateful that as I age they're mostly only 3 letters today...less to remember as I have run out of RAM and have progressive CRS.

Yep, there are idiots in all fields, all walks of life.

And when asked what you did to fix an issue and make it sound complicated but was really very simple we'd say....

"Oh, the O-N-O-F-F switch was in the O-F-F position." ​
