You can also connect the IP Cam directly to a computer.
Please note that in this mode you will not be able to view your
IP Cam from anywhere else apart from the computer you are currently using.
Connect one end of the network cable in to the IP Cam Network Connection socket, and plug the other end in to a spare
network port on your computer.
Connect the included power adapter to the power port on the camera and the other end into an electrical socket. Do
not turn the power on at this time.
