Device User ID

The Device User ID feature is used to provide the Nano-10G a custom name for easy identification.

An imaging application can use any of the following features to identify a camera: IP address, MAC address, Serial Number, or Device User ID. The Device User ID is a human-readable alternative; its factory default value matches the camera Serial Number.

This feature is part of the Camera Information category of features.

When to Use the Device User ID

The Device User ID is especially useful when multiple cameras are connected to the network. For instance, on an inspection system with 4 cameras around an object, the devices might be labeled Top, Left, Right and Bottom.

Which Value to Provide

• Use the Device User ID feature to unambiguously identify a camera. Choose a name that indicates, for instance, its usage or location.

• Do not use the camera’s IP address as identification (unless it is a persistent IP) since it will change with each power cycle.

• The MAC address is unique to a camera; therefore, the control application is limited to the vision system with that unique camera if it uses the camera’s MAC address.
