How can I connect to CCTV WiFi without a LAN cable?

 

The first and most crucial step in thinking about a security camera system is comprehending the limits of wireless technology. Even with pricey wireless equipment, weak signals can occur because of interference or solid walls. These problems can result in a security system that is unreliable and drops cameras or seems to skip video. How to use an iPhone or Android to check the Wi-Fi signal strength near your house or place of business is demonstrated in the video below. Every place you plan to install a wireless security camera warrants testing the connection quality. When it comes to wifi, it is advised to avoid any compromises because they might be
difficult to fix. Hence ICFix Service provides CCTV training institutes in Chennai.

 

The default wired IP address of our IP cameras and NVRs, unless otherwise specified, is 192.168.1.108. Please take note that our WiFi security cameras are not PoE capable, meaning they require a power supply. To view the camera’s web service, you might need to make changes to your network’s settings, or you could use the IP Config Tool to find and modify the IP address. You can read more about connecting to IP security cameras and using ConfigTool to find or adjust settings in this other article. Plug the 12V DC adapter in and use an Ethernet connection to connect the camera to your network. Give the camera about a minute to turn on.

Go to the IP address of the camera using Internet Explorer 11. Follow this guide to enable ActiveX to view the web service for your camera if you haven’t already. The plug-in must be downloaded and installed before you can log in with the username and password. Go to [Setup > Network > TCP/IP] next. Be aware that you must be within the camera to connect a camera to WiFi using the NVR web interface. Check the image on the top left and make sure it says IP Camera and not Web Service to ensure you are in the correct web interface. Here’s a sample of each in action.

 

 

 

 

Choose wifi from the drop-down menu that says WIRE(DEFAULT). The DEFAULT button should be clicked next to the drop-down box. then click the STATIC radio button. You can now change the camera’s address. Check to see if the device’s address, subnet mask, and default gateway all match those of other connected devices on your network. Make careful to set it to a different address from your wired address, such as 192.168.1.109 in our example, as the WiFi address cannot be the same as the cable address. Hit save once you’re done. The system ought to reload. You might need to log in once more.

 

Click [Setup > Network > WiFi] and choose the ENABLE checkbox. In order to find the accessible networks, click SEARCH SSID. Click ADD SSID and enter the SSID if your network doesn’t broadcast an SSID. Double-click the network name, then enter your login information. Depending on a number of variables, connecting the device to the network may take several minutes.

 

Disconnect the camera’s power and network cords to make sure everything is connected correctly. Simply reconnect the power after waiting 10 seconds. Allow the camera to start up and join the newly configured wireless network for around two minutes. Then try using the wireless IP address you established (192.168.1.109) in your web browser to connect to the camera.
