As far as I know, the intention is for your user to select a service
name, not enter a host name.<br>
The service is then resolved and the host name, ip address and other
information discovered.<br>

If you advertise the camera as a service on the host <span
class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace;"><span
class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"></span>acme-sx194j-3428472.local</span>
you won't have this problem.<br>
