1 Device Introduction

It directly outputs RTSP/RTMP video streams, works with NVR/DVR devices that support the ONVIF protocol, and can also push video streams directly to major live streaming platforms. Suitable for building remote monitoring platforms and for video live streaming applications.
Please use the search assistant to find the camera. The camera default IP is 192.168.0.10

2 Live Streaming and Recording Switching Function

There is a switch button on the camera. When pressed, the camera's live video switches to the recording from one hour ago and plays it in a loop (for example: if the button is pressed at 16:00, the video will loop through the local recording from 15:00 to 16:00). When the switch is released, it immediately switches back to the live video. As shown below


Notes:
- You need to wait for the device to connect to the network and complete time synchronization, and enable the recording switch
- When pressing the switch, make sure the device has local recording stored from one hour ago
- After a reboot, the switch state is also checked. If it is in the pressed state, the recording from one hour before the current time will be played; if it is not pressed, the current live picture will be played.

3、Web Configuration

Use the Device Search Assistant to search for and modify the device IP. Note that the computer and the device must be under the same switch/router. If it cannot be found, you can check the forced search option on the device search assistant.
