Before accessing your camera through a web browser, the following two steps must be completed:
1. You must access the camera’s web interface with its IP address.
2. You must install the Amcrest web browser plugin.
An IP address is just an identifier given to any devices that connect to a network. People use names, but
internetconnected devices use a set of numbers called an IP address to talk to each other. Once you have the IP
address, your computer will be able to find and communicate with your camera.
A browser plugin is just like a translator. By using the camera on your computer through a web browser, you need
to introduce a new piece of software that allows your computer to understand the language that the camera
speaks in a way that a computer can understand. That’s what the browser plugin is for.
To access the camera’s web interface, we will use the Amcrest IP Config Software method.
