ADD NEW CAMERA
First you need to connect your camera to Zipato network.
Connect your IP camera to your Internet router and to the
power supply (be sure you are connecting your IP camera
to the same network which your Zipabox is connected to).
Click
on Camera widget.
Wait until Zipabox finishes scanning your network (IP
DISCVERY), as it may take a while.
Once the Zipabox finish the IP discovery process, you will
see a list of all IP devices in your network which do have
a web server (as all IP cameras do have their own web
server), and you have to check which ones are your IP
cameras (if you have more than one). You have to check
each IP address founded by Zipabox, and you can do that
by pressing “OPEN” if you are doing this from inside your
home network or by pressing “OPEN REMOTE” if you are
doing this from the outside of your home network (this is
especially useful for providing remote support by service
providers or installers).
Once you check IP address (by clicking check box on the
right side of the selected IP address) of all IP Cameras
which you would like to add to your Camera widget, you
just need to press “ADD” button.
Zipato allows you to watch live and recorded video from anywhere in the world, and you can use
almost any IP camera available on the market today. Still, you will have more functions available
if you are using one of IP cameras which are supported by Zipato.
