22 IP Addresses in 4G Mode and WiFi Mode
In 4G mode, the IP address is the fixed IP 192.168.0.15 and cannot be modified. This IP can be found on the LAN after connecting the network cable. To use this IP to enter the backend, you need to add an IP of 192.168.0.10 on the computer. For how to add an IP on the computer, see this link https://blog.csdn.net/zd1512149/article/details/139860822.
In 4G mode, if no network cable is connected, you need to use the remote address to enter. First bind the account to the cloud platform, and use the remote address: serial number.cloud.xstrive.com:9502
The same applies in WiFi mode
23 https Address Playback
There are two methods to play a video stream address in https format
Method 1: the cloud platform generates an https stream address. Operation method: after registering on the cloud platform, bind the device through the serial number in the device list, click Play and log in, then click Generate (to use this address, the hls switch needs to be turned on. The address generated by the cloud platform can be played on both the LAN and the external network. Addresses generated from the cloud incur a traffic fee of 0.4/Gb)
Method 2: in the device backend Network Configuration - Advanced Configuration, there is an https setting. You need to apply for the certificate yourself for upload; the default certificate can be used temporarily for testing. After setting the certificate, the format for logging in to the device IP is: https://ip (the address under Channel Preview is a LAN address and can only be played on the LAN)
