I guess they've done that to allow you to view the camera output directly, all I wanted was to access the memory card. that sounds like it's the easiest solution, unless the camera can be used via usb. i don't know what that clamp thing does (likely proprietary), but the camera uses tcp/ip over wifi. Are you sure? very sure. Since you don't know the model of the camera. but i do know what app it uses and that the camera creates a wifi network for the phone to join. |

The presence of an SSID and password tells you that the camera is an *access point*. You connect to an access point with a client. Your WiFi router is also an access point. Therefore, your WiFi router and your camera will not be able to see or connect to each other. How do I connect to this using Windows 10? My Windows 10 PC does not have WiFi, You purchase a WiFi adapter for your Win10 box that allows the PC to act as a WiFi *client*. Once you've done that, you'll be able to connect to the camera. Once connected, the camera will attempt to assign an IP address to your Win10 PC that is on the camera's subnet. You'll need to have DHCP enabled in Win10 for that to work. (Probably enabled by default.) The rules are simple: clients connect to access points. Access points do not initiate connections to clients, nor do access points connect to other access points. There's an exception for "ad hoc" wireless networks, but that doesn't sound like your situation. but it's connected by ethernet cable to a wireless router, which is where it gets its internet connection from. Why can I not see the camera from the PC? Because two access points don't see or connect to each other. Any PC *with WiFi* will be able to access the camera using the SSID and password that are displayed on the camera. Your Win10 box doesn't have WiFi so you can't connect with that PC. Add a WiFi adapter, turning your Win10 box into a Wifi Client, and you'll be able to connect. The wireless router is functional, as laptops can get onto the internet through it. And don't say "read the manual" - the manual is in Chinglish - for example: "When the poor operation of the product caused by the phenomenon of death, removable battery should be re-installed, then the machine returns to normal." The only pertinent info I can see in the manual is: "Before using WiFi function, please install "XDV" APP program on the smart phone" Surely if a smart phone can access it, so can a Windows 10 PC? A smart phone almost always has WiFi, meaning it can act as a WiFi *client*. Configured as a client, the smart phone can connect to an access point, such as your router or camera. Many smart phones can also be configured to act as a WiFi *access point*, but you don't need that functionality here. I only mention it for completeness. |

Did it not come with a cable to connect it via your laptop's USB port? Most cameras I have bought have a cable. I have never bought a camera with wifi facility but I am not a keen photographer so this is not in point here. The cable doesn't appear to work. You are a new boy on the block here so this suggests to me that you are a nym-shifter expecting to generate useless posts by posting this crap here. No, I asked a question. Actually you must be the same pedo we have filtered out but since you have changed your nym your post managed to come to my inbox!!! I have now updated by filter list!!. Your stupid accusation is illogical. |

I think I'll try plugging a USB wireless adapter (I've got one somewhere) into this desktop tomorrow and see if I can find the camera. |
