If you don’t find your camera here…
Please check the camera’s manual. What you need to do is:
- Create a user (non-admin) account including a safe password that CAM-AI is going to use.
- Insert a safe password for the admin account. Keeping the default password from the factory settings is not a good idea if your camera is online on the internet.
- Set the resolution and the frame rate as desired. We recommend not going beyond 6 fps (for now).
- Get the URL for the video stream. We recommend RTSP.
Once you fixed it for your camera, it would be nice if you leave a comment with a short instruction on GitHub Discussions. Thank you!
