Can I use a UUID for a camera vs URL

In my control page I am using the URL to access the camera. Can I use the UUID and if so what is the format?
If not, is it recommended to assign the cameras a static IP?

Thanks

I'm not sure I understand the question, but if it is a URL to the Web Server built into the camera then the format of the URL will be totally dependent on how the camera has it defined.

I don't know of any way to use the UUID to define a camera, except if you're using Security Spy. Even then, I think that only works for telling Security Spy where the camera is on the network, not where it is as a resource for an Indigo Control Page.

DC, thanks.

So is the only way to lock in the camera is to make it a static IP address?

Matt,
I have it set that my cameras reboot every week. Occasionally they will bounce to another address and then get seperated from the Control Page.

Use a DHCP Reservation in your router/DHCP server, not a static IP address.
