IP Cam Configuration

Setting up an IP Cam for use with the N199 is easy. In this example, we’ll setup a Vivotek PT7237 IP cam for use with the N199. Configuring a different IP cam will be slightly different depending on the model you are using, but this guide will outline the basics.

Follow the instructions included with your IP cam for installation. Once your IP cam is properly installed, follow the steps below to configure your N199.

Step 1: Connect the IP Cam to the N199

The first step is to connect your IP cam to the N199. To do this, login to the N199’s Web Admin Interface and select IP Cam Surveillance from the menu. The IP Cam Surveillance window will appear. Here, we will connect your installed IP Cam to the N199.
