Hello @DrDean
Officially, kasa app would be the only way to set up a Kasa camera. Smart Device broadcasts a default SSID in set up mode, app will guide to connect to /automatically search and connect to the Smart SSID , so smart device could be found by Kasa app.This SSID will disappear after the installation and should not cause DHCP conflict.
For ' My KC200 thinks it is a DHCP server and conflicts with my actual DHCP server. ' can I share mode details about that, what is the error message when you try to set up camera through APP. Thank you.
