Suppose I have 20 cameras of different manufacturers. Maybe some of them will start with a fixed IP address, maybe some other will try to get network configuration from a DHCP server and, if failed, will start with another fixed IP address.
I know I could connect one camera at a time to a PC and make the needed configuration, but I'm trying to understand if there's a standard way (SDK, API, protocol, tool) to manage network configuration of multiple IP cams that power up with default settings.
I know Dahua has a tool (Config Tool) that could be used for this, but I suspect it will work only for Dahua cameras. The same for Hikvision. Is there a tool that works with IP cameras, whatever the manufacturer?
I know ONVIF specified messages for network configuration, but I suspect ONVIF can be used only if the IP Cameras work with a correct configuration. In other words, I think I can't use ONVIF to set network configuration of 2 IPCam that have the same IP address 192.168.1.108.
