Hi all,
Great forum here. Not sure if this thread is for posting issues, or not, but here goes.
I am a complete newbie to IP cameras and just got a LaView ONE Dot, Model PWF812B-U. Before I received it, I downloaded the manual and it indicated that I could use the camera with a desktop by using an ethernet cable to connect the camera to my router, which is what I want to do. But when I got the camera, the manual in the box just talked about setting it up via smartphone app.
I did set it up via wifi and the app with my smartphone, and I am able to determine the camera's IP address. However, if I type the IP address into my desktop's browser, I cannot access the camera.
The camera does not have an ethernet port and the power cord has a USB connection on one end to plug into the power plug, so I am wondering if I got a USB to Ethernet adapter, would this work so I could initially set up the camera to work with my desktop and their desktop software?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
