Chapter 4 Configure Your Camera 

This chapter shows how to use the camera’s web management page to configure the camera 
locally. In addition to the web management page, you can use the tpCamera app and TP-LINK 
Cloud (

http://www.tplinkcloud.com

) to view and manage your camera remotely. 

4.1  Log in to Your Camera 

1.  Connect a computer to the router that your camera is connected to. You can connect the 

computer to the router using an Ethernet cable or via the wireless connection. 

2.  Find the management IP address of the camera from the web management page of the 

connected router. Here we use the web management page of TP-LINK Archer D7 for 

demonstration. 

 

3.  On a computer that connects to the same router as the camera does, open a web browser, 

type in the camera’s IP address in the address field, and press 

Enter

. Here we use 

http://192.168.0.104 for demonstration. 

 

4.  Enter the default username and password (
