Changing static IP address for OAK D Pro & RCV2-based through Python

jingnan

Hi,

Is there a way to change the static IP addresses of RCV2-based cameras using Python (or C++) APIs? Currently we still use the device manager GUI. Thanks.

Hey jingnan - yes, this can be done from the DepthAI API as well. Device Manager uses the same bootloader config API internally.

Minimal Python flow:

 import depthai as dai

 found, info = dai.DeviceBootloader.getFirstAvailableDevice()
 if found:
     with dai.DeviceBootloader(info) as bl:
         conf = bl.readConfig()
         conf.setStaticIPv4("192.168.1.200", "255.255.255.0", "192.168.1.1")
         success, error = bl.flashConfig(conf)
         print("OK" if success else error)

flashConfig() writes the bootloader configuration area; it does not overwrite calibration/EEPROM. Please double-check the IP, subnet mask, and gateway before flashing, since incorrect network settings can make the PoE device unreachable until reset.

Best,
Oskar

@Oskar-Luxonis Is this with the DepthAI v2 API, or with the V3 API?

jingnan - This is with the DepthAI v3 API. The snippet is based on the DepthAi v3 Device Manager implementation, which uses the same DeviceBootloader API internally:
