Double click the camera’s line item to login and connect to the camera. Once logged in, click the
icon to open
the camera’s interface in a web browser.
Log in to the camera using your login credentials (default username and password are both “admin”). If this is your
first-time logging into the camera, you will be prompted to change your password. Please select a password that is
at least 8 characters long, and one that uses a combination of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and numbers.
When opening the camera’s interface, the browser may prompt you to install a plugin. The plugins are necessary
for using the camera’s interface. Click install to download the plugin, and then click on the plugin installation file to
install the plugin. If the browser prompts you to allow the plugin to work on the computer, hit Allow to ensure the
plugin can run successfully.
The camera is now successfully set up for live viewing!
