Alternatively, you can try the top 2 solutions for cameras without WiFi I have mentioned. Requirements: • Your WiFi or PoE camera • The camera’s power adapter • Your computer (desktop or laptop) • A network cable And that’s all. Here is how: Step 1.

Get your security camera charged. Use the power adapter to get the camera plugged-in and charged. Normally, when you buy a, it comes with a power adapter.

For a, ask the supplier and buy one that’s workable for the camera. Use the network cable to connect to the camera and the computer. Normally there would be a 2-in-1 or 3-in-1 cable attached from the camera. Find the network connector from that cable and use the network cable to connect to it. Then connect the other end of the network cable to the computer. If your computer has network already, disable it – make sure your computer is offline. Scan and find out the security camera’s IP address on the computer.

Change the computer’s IP address to the same network prefix of the IP camera. So in Step 3, you get your security camera’s default IP address. In our test, the default IP address of the camera we use is 192.168.177.100, and now you need to change your computer’s IP address to 192.168.177.x, where x identifies the node/host and is the number between 2 and 254.

So let’s say the computer’s IP address is 192.168.177.12. IP address 101: An IP address consists of two parts – one belongs to the network address and one belongs to the node address. All nodes on a given network share the same network prefix but have a unique host number. Now to change the computer’s IP address (we take Windows 10 as an example): 1) Press the Windows + R keyboard shortcut to bring out the Run box. 2) Enter “ncpa.cpl” and open the “Network Connections” window. 3) Right-click your computer’ network adapter and select “Properties”.
