Introduction

Access method: Open a web browser and enter in the address bar: http://device IP address/ (the device IP address is the IP address of the P1 displayed in the device list).

The working network that the device is connected to needs to support automatic acquisition of IP (DHCP). After the device automatically acquires the IP, it can be discovered by the software through Onvif.

If the P1 device cannot be found on the network with above method due to the network issues, please try to access the device by the default fixed IP address 192.168.1.168. That is, fill the http://192.168.1.168/ in the browser to enter the WEB page.
