Note: As this is a generic manual, the screenshots shown here may differ from the actual pages of your specific device. Please refer to the actual device pages.
1、 Packing List
Device x1 USB power cable X1 Network cable ×1 64G USB flash drive ×1 (Note: all products are provided with an electronic manual only)
2、First Use
Connect the UVC streamer to the network with a network cable, and connect the USB cable to the computer and the device. Check whether three cameras appear in the Device Manager of the computer (three cameras means three platforms can stream at the same time). If they appear, the connection is successful; if not, the connection failed and you need to unplug and reconnect.
If you need to log in to the device backend:
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 the device cannot be found, you can check the forced search option in the Device Search Assistant.
Note: !!! If you find that you cannot log in using the IP address 192.168.0.233, it is because the computer and the UVC live streaming box are not on the same network segment. You need to change the IP address of the streaming box. Tutorial: Device Search Assistant. Click to view the tutorial and make the change
3、Login Page
This device is configured through a web management interface, and supports management and configuration from terminals such as PC, tablet and mobile phone. On PC it is recommended to use the Google browser to manage the device.
After changing the device IP using the dedicated Device Search Assistant software mentioned above (see the Device Search Assistant manual for instructions),
enter the device IP address in the Google browser to open the device management login page, as shown in Figure 1 below:

You can use Jianying (CapCut) to export the video, and make sure the video is in mp4 format — other formats are not supported.
