- Network: Connect an Ethernet cable from your network switch or router to the camera's RJ45 port. The camera supports Wi-Fi connectivity as well, which can be configured after initial wired setup.
4. Initial Configuration
Refer to the Quick Start Guide for detailed instructions on initial network discovery and configuration using Honeywell's software tools. This typically involves assigning an IP address and setting up administrator credentials.
Operating Instructions
1. Accessing the Camera
Once configured, the camera can be accessed via a web browser or compatible video management software (VMS) using its assigned IP address. Enter the administrator credentials to log in.
2. Live View and Recording
