How does the 4K PRO camera work with an internet connection?
1. Connect the camera using a network cable
1) For the first wired network connection, you need to use HDMI to connect for network authentication. The subsequent connection, connected to the network cable can be identified.
2) Open the other settings interface in the left side adjustment column. Click DHCP to identify and input the relevant IP address and other data.
3) Recognition success.
4) After successful authentication, there is no need to connect the display screen for operation (if you need to connect is also possible).
5) After opening the software, see the camera list in the upper right corner.
2. Connect the camera with WIFI (WIFI version network camera support only)
The WIFI connections are divided into STA and AP patterns.
1) AP Mode (Access Point)
In AP mode, the wireless device acts as a wireless access point to provide a wireless network connection for other devices. Hence, the camera acts as a transmitter, inserting the USB terminal of the WLAN adapter into the USB 3.0 port of the 4K camera, enabling the computer and the 4K camera to communicate with each other through hot spots.
Note: When using AP mode, set the wireless network name (SSID) and password to ensure that only authorized devices can connect to the network and secure the network. Moreover, the location and signal strength of the AP device can also affect the coverage and signal quality of the device, so choosing the appropriate location is crucial to provide a stable wireless network connection.
- l WLAN name (in AP mode): the name of the camera as the wireless access point (the name displayed in the computer Wi-Fi list).
- l Download speed: Download speed refers to the transmission rate of downloading data from the Internet, usually measured by the amount of data transmitted per second (such as Mbps).
- l Upload speed: Upload speed refers to the transmission rate when the data is uploaded to the Internet, which is usually measured by the amount of data transmitted per second.
2) STA pattern:
Represents that the device is connected to a wireless network as a wireless client. In the STA mode, the device, as a wireless terminal node, receives and transmits data by connecting to a wireless infrastructure (such as a wireless router or a wireless access point).
Note: When the device is in STA mode, it can scan the surrounding wireless network for available wireless access points and then select a suitable access point for connection. Once the connection is established, the device can communicate with other devices in the wireless network through the access point and access the Internet.
- l WLAN name (in STA mode): the Wi-Fi name for the camera-ready connection.
- l WLAN password: the password to connect to the wireless network.
- l IP Address: When each device is connected to the Internet, a unique IP address is assigned for identification and communication in the network. This refers to the IP address of the wireless router.
- l Download speed: Download speed refers to the transmission rate at which data is downloaded from the Internet, usually measured by the amount of data transmitted per second (such as Mbps).
- l Upload speed: Upload speed is the transmission rate at which data is uploaded to the Internet and is usually measured by the amount of data transmitted per second.
Note: The computer and the camera need to be on the same LAN.
