That reminds me of one of the methods described in the manual for
configuring an APC switched PDU with an IP address when all other
methods have failed.

Assuming you know the MAC address of the camera, connect over a
cross-over, then create a new arp table entry by associating the MAC
with an IP:

arp -s <IP> <MAC>

such as:

arp -s 192.168.1.10 00:1d:09:7d:4a:48

Of course, if the network controller in the camera is dying, then you're
probably not going to make it work reliably in any scenario.
