By 2013-12-12 16:02:03 UTCAll kinds of cameras are going wireless these days, but made cameras wireless before it was cool. The company's SD cards let users transfer pics wirelessly and effortlessly, and its more recent allow transfers directly to smartphones and tablets running iOS or Android.You can now add tablets to that list since Eye-Fi just launched its Windows receiver software for the Mobi cards.
Eye-Fi brings its desktop receiver to Mac, announces Labs initiative for software beta testing Have you been bummed for the last month because Eye-Fi's desktop receiver for its Mobi card wa.
The software is still in beta and Mobi users can download it for free, although Eye-Fi says final pricing hasn't been determined. See also:The receiver software runs in the Windows desktop environment, so it won't work with Windows RT devices.
It's really meant to give Mobi users the option of relaying their pics to a Windows laptop even without a Wi-Fi network. That way, if you need to perform some quick editing to a pic on the spot, you'll be able to do it on a machine that can run full Photoshop.Setting up the software only requires inputting your Eye-Fi Mobi card's 10-digit activation code. Once the Mobi and receiver software are up and running, the card will transfer pics automatically, as they're taken. Again, the connection is direct, so no Wi-Fi network is needed.Eye-Fi says a Mac version is coming soon.Image: Flickr,Topics:,.
How to connect an IP camera to your PC or to the computer monitor? If you've got your security video IP cameras home, and you don't plan for an NVR, you may get problems on how to directly connect an IP camera to PC (without routers, without internet, without DVR or without its receiver). This doesn't mean you are an idiot, but you are just not a technical guy or you just don't have experience in this kind of stuff.It's wise to hook up your security IP cameras to a computer (or computer monitor) for 24/7 monitoring and recording. You can, with or without the Internet, connect your indoor or outdoor surveillance cameras to PC or to Mac with the top 5 solutions.Pleased be noted: Install your security cameras in the right positions firstly.
You can refer to. 5 Solutions to Connect Your Security IP CCTV Camera to PC/Mac.And I've covered third party software to connect your IP Camera to a computer in.Those methods will guide you to connect a wireless or PoE IP camera to PC (on Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows XP and Windows Vista), and to a Mac (on Mac OS X 10.13, 10.12, 10.11, 10.10, 10.9, etc.).Important Note: The methods recommended below may NOT apply for the, which require initial setup on your phones. Here is a simple infographic illustrating the basic steps to connect a security camera (system) to your PC/Mac.
You may continue reading for more important notes to help you smoothly set all the things up.Method 1. Connect a WiFi or PoE Camera Directly to PC/Mac (without Internet)The steps below detail how to connect your security IP camera directly to PC/Mac, without an NVR or DVR, without a router network, without WiFi, and without any fees or complicated configuration.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 cableAnd 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 a network already, disable it – make sure your computer is offline.Step 3. Scan and find out the security camera's IP address on the computer.Now the security camera is connecting to your computer basically and physically.
But you still can't view the camera on the computer.What you need to do now is to scan and find out the camera's IP address. There should be surveillance software from the same supplier with the camera.Take our test as an example. We have on the computer.
Launch it and it will automatically scan all the cameras in the same local LAN and show the default IP address (every camera has a default and unique IP address when it leaves the factory). Easy peasy!Step 4. 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”.4) Select your computer's Internet Protocol Version and click ”Properties”.5) Select ”Use the following IP address” and change the IP address into 192.168.177.12.And done. Now your IP camera is connecting directly and communicating with your PC, because they are now in the same little LAN.
You can watch your IP camera with Reolink Client on your computer.Here's the video footage shared by one of our customers (captured by ).Important: Since there is no router network, the IP camera would not transmit data or send alarms to your phone. Still, you can record and save all the footage onto your computer.If you're gonna use your IP camera with the computer all the time like this (without router network), you'd better change the default status of your IP camera's IP address to the static to keep it the same all the time, because each time you reboot the IP camera, its IP address will be changed and you will need to do all the steps above again. To keep the IP camera's IP address the same all the time, head to ”Device Settings” and ”Network General” on the Client (Reolink Client in our test), and choose ”Static” for ”Network Access”.
And done.Method 2. Connect a Wireless/WiFi Camera to Computer via Router (with Internet)If you do have WiFi network and need to remotely see the IP camera when you're not there, you can connect your wireless or WiFi camera to computer wirelessly via your router.Requirements:. Your WiFi camera.
The camera's power adapter. Your computer (desktop or laptop). A network cable. A routerHere is how: Step 1.
Get your WiFi security camera charged.Use the power adapter to get the camera plugged-in and charged. Use the network cable to connect to the camera and the router.A WiF camera needs to connect to the router with a network cable for initial setup, because the new camera itself wouldn't recognize and auto-pick up a network that it never uses. Only after the correct WiFi settings can you disconnect the cable from the camera and the router.And yeah again, normally there would be a 2-in-1 or 3-in-1 cable attached from the WiFi 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 router.Step 3.
Watch the IP camera on PC/MacOn the computer, launch the surveillance software to add the camera and watch live view directly.In our test, we open. Since the computer and the camera are in the same network (using the same router network), Reolink Client automatically searches and displays the camera directly. Click ”Start” and you can view the camera on PC.
And you can set up the configurations for all the functions you want the camera to have.Here's the video footage shared by one of our customers. Set up WiFi settings and remove the network cable.Do remember to make the WiFi settings for the camera. On the software, navigate to ”Device Settings” and ”Network”. Choose the WiFi network and enter the password, and done. Cameras from the different brands would have different WiFi settings.
Please refer to the guides you get from your supplier.After that, remove the network cable, and then the security IP CCTV camera connects to the computer wirelessly.Important: If you need to see the IP camera from another computer that is not in the same network, you need to input the camera's UID into the software to remotely access the camera. Connect a PoE (Wired) IP Camera to Computer without PoE Injector/SwitchConnecting a PoE wired IP camera to a computer via the router is similar to that of a WiFi camera, and even much easier – you don't need to use a power adapter, set up the WiFi and remove the network cable.Requirements:. Your PoE camera. Your computer (desktop or laptop).
A network cable. A router with PoE featureHere is how: Step 1. Use the network cable to connect to the camera and the router.PoE (Power over Ethernet) means you can just use a single network cable for both video and power transmission. So just connect the camera to the router via the network cable, and the camera will get power supply and network access.Please make sure your router has the PoE feature.
Watch the IP camera on the computer.On the computer, launch the surveillance software to add the camera and watch live view directly.In our test, we open. Since the computer and the camera are in the same network, Reolink Client automatically searches and displays the camera directly. Click ”Start” and you can view the camera on PC.
Nuclear chemistry research project. History, Model of the Atom, Atomic Theory, Subatomic Particles, Radioactive Isotopes High School, Middle SchoolRutherford's initial research was studying alpha particles, which he hypothesized were helium nuclei. With the help of Hans Geiger, Rutherford conducted the gold foil experiment, which justifies that the nucleus of an atom is a dense collection of protons and contains the majority of an atom’s mass.
And you can set up the configurations for all the functions you want the camera to have.Here's the video footage shared by one of our customers. Important: If you need to see the IP camera from another computer that is not in the same network, you need to input the camera's UID into the software to remotely access the camera.
