It can eliminate problems with duplicated IP addresses (often occurring after connecting a number of new devices), even in the same network class.

An IP (Internet Protocol) camera consists of two core components; CMOS image sensor and SoC. The CMOS image sensor converts light to electrical signal, then transmit to SoC for video compression and output. Hisilicon, Texas Instrument, Ambarella are three main SoC solution providers in the world. Since Ambarella specializes in HD, UHD video technology and compression based on H.264 & H.265, the company gains market share from the booming IP camera market. Additionally, Ambarella won the bid to become SoC solution provider of Hikvision and Dahua, which are global leading video surveillance products manufacturers.
