Accessing Your X10linked Camera Feed On Pc

If you want to connect your x10linked camera to your PC, you'll need to make sure your camera is turned on and then attach the camera's USB cable to both your camera and your PC. Once the drivers are installed, open your computer's file explorer and locate your camera's storage folder, where you can view, copy, or delete your photos. If you want to connect your camera to your PC wirelessly, you'll need to use a router and possibly a power adapter or PoE injector, depending on your camera.

How to connect an x10linked camera to a PC with a cable

To connect an X10Linked camera to a PC with a cable, follow these steps:

Firstly, ensure that your PC is turned on. Then, turn on your camera. The method for doing so will vary depending on the model, but it is usually done by using a dial near the top of the camera.

Next, plug the small end of the camera's cable into the camera itself. The port for this cable is often located under a plastic flap with a label such as "Video Out". After this, plug the other end of the USB cable into your computer. The USB end is rectangular and should fit into a port on the side of the central processing unit (CPU) of your desktop PC, or the side of your laptop. Ensure that the hollow side of the USB is facing upwards.

Now, wait for your camera's drivers to install. If this is your first time connecting the camera, this may take a few minutes. Once the drivers are installed, a pop-up window should appear, asking what action you would like to take with the device.

From here, you can double-click "My Computer", followed by your camera's name, which should be under the "Devices and Drives" section. Then, double-click your camera's storage folder. This could be named anything, but modern cameras usually have a folder named "DCIM". There may be another folder inside this one, named after the camera brand, for example, "100CANON".

You should now be able to view, copy, or delete your photos from your camera's memory card.

How to connect an x10linked camera to a PC wirelessly

To connect an x10Linked camera to a PC wirelessly, you will need a power adapter for the camera, a network cable, and a router.

Firstly, plug the camera into the power adapter to charge it. Then, connect the camera to the router using the network cable. Once the correct Wi-Fi settings are configured, disconnect the cable from the camera and the router.

Next, launch surveillance software on your computer, such as Reolink Client. This will automatically detect the camera on the same network. Set up configurations for camera functions in the software. Then, configure the camera's Wi-Fi settings by selecting the network and entering the password. Finally, remove the network cable to connect the camera to the computer wirelessly.

If you need to see the camera from another computer that is not on the same network, you will need to input the camera's UID into the software to remotely access it.
