6.1.1 Connecting to Internet

Two common connection methods are shown below

  1. Connecting via switch or router

    A["Camera"] -->|Network cable| B["Switch or router"]
    B -->|Network cable| C["Computer"]
  1. To connect directly through network cable, the IP address of the computer should be changed so that it is on the same network segment as the camera e.g.: The factory-preset default IP address of camera is 192.168.100.100. The computer IP address must be set with the same network segment, such as 192.168.100.101, so that the computer can be connected correctly with the camera

6.1.6 Using USB to View the Images

When using 4K resolution for USB output, the video is encoded in H.264 format, while resolutions of 1080P and below are encoded in either H.264 or MJPEG format (the media player will choose automatically). However, some media players or

conference meeting apps may not display images when using 4K resolution due to conflicts between the A71P H.264 format and the software itself. In that case, please lower the resolution to 1080P.

To utilize the USB camera source, launch a media player like PotPlayer or a conference meeting app such as Zoom, then select the camera source.
