This article is useful to those of you who are not happy with your camera's audio/video settings, especially video quality (resolution, frame rate, compression level, etc.) or camera credentials.
To find a camera web administration:
Have your 💻 or 📱 on the same network (router or WiFi access point) as your camera.
Note your camera's MAC address - it's not an absolute must, but finding the camera will be easier if you have more devices on your network.
Find the camera's IP address - please choose any option that fits you the best:
a) sing-in to your router/access point and find the camera's IP address in a DHCP server or
b) 🔍 scan your network (choose any of these options):
Windows: Use Angry IP scanner or Advanced IP Scanner
Mac:
- Geeks can run the Terminal app and run “arp -a | grep MAC,” where MAC is the cam's MAC address
- Otherwise use app IP Network Scanner (free for up to 6 devices, for more devices you can use free Angry IP scanner).
iOS: Purchase IP Network Scanner app ($19.90).Congrats! That was the hardest part! 🎉
Open an internet browser and enter the IP address of the camera.
Sign-in to the camera - if you hadn't changed default credentials, you can find them in the camera's manual 📖.
