Accessing the Camera
To access the camera live view, the camera and the PC must belong to the same network. A
sample connection diagram is shown below.
The quickest way to discover the cameras in the network is to use the simplest network
search, built in the Windows system. In Windows system, click Network and double-click on
the camera model to launch the default browser of the PC with the IP address of the target
camera filled in the address bar of the browser already.
If you work with our cameras regularly, then there is even a better way to discover the
cameras in the network – by using IP Utility. The IP Utility is a light software tool that can not
only discover the cameras, but also list lots of valuable information, such as IP and MAC
addresses, serial numbers, firmware versions, etc., and allows quick configuration of multiple
devices at the same time.
