Camhi Cameras: Viewing On Pc

CamHi cameras can be viewed on a PC by connecting the camera to the power supply and then to the PC via a network cable. The camera can also be connected to Wi-Fi by opening the CamHi app, clicking 'Add Camera', and selecting 'Wireless Installation'. The camera only supports 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi, so ensure your device is connected to the appropriate Wi-Fi band. Once connected, you can view the camera feed by clicking on the camera that displays 'Online' in the app. You can also view the camera remotely by downloading P2P software to your PC.

Download the CamHi app

To set up your CamHi camera, you'll first need to download the CamHi app. This is available on the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.

The CamHi app allows you to monitor your security camera in real-time. You can use it to view and download recordings, adjust motion detection settings, and receive alerts and notifications. The app also supports simultaneous online viewing on up to five devices, so you can easily share access with family members.

To download the CamHi app, simply follow these steps:

• Open the app store on your device.
• Search for "CamHi" in the store.
• Find the official CamHi app, developed by ShenZhen SV3C Technology Co., LTD.
• Install the app on your device.

Once you have downloaded and installed the CamHi app, you can proceed to set up your camera by connecting it to your Wi-Fi network and configuring the necessary settings in the app.

Note that the CamHi camera only supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, so ensure your device is connected to the correct network before proceeding with the setup process.

Connect the camera to Wi-Fi

To connect your CamHi camera to Wi-Fi, you must first ensure that your router supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and that your mobile phone is connected to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.

Next, connect the camera's power supply and wait for around 40 seconds. You should then hear a tinkling sound from the device. If you do not hear this sound, press the reset button for 10 seconds at the device's base.

Now, open the CamHi app on your mobile phone and click the 'Add Device' button. This will take you to the Add Device interface. If it is your first time using the app, or if you have restored the camera to its factory settings, you will need to click the 'New Device' button. The app will then search for the device.

Once the device has been found, power it on and wait for around 30 seconds to confirm that it is working, then click 'Next'. If your device is connected to a network cable, the app will automatically search for the device's UID in the current LAN. Select the UID and click 'Add'. The device will then search for nearby Wi-Fi signals and prompt you to enter the Wi-Fi password. After entering the password, click 'Configure Wi-Fi and add'. Once the Wi-Fi configuration is successful, you will be taken to the device list interface.

If you do not wish to connect to Wi-Fi at this time, click the 'Do not configure, directly add' button.

Open the app and click 'Add Device'

To set up your CamHi camera, you will first need to install the CamHi app on your mobile phone. You can then connect your phone to your chosen WiFi network and open the app.

In the app, you will see an "Add Device" button. Click this to enter the "Add Device" interface. Here, you will be able to add your camera device. After adding the camera, wait a few seconds for the camera to connect automatically. You will then be prompted that the camera is online and you can view it.

The camera can use the CamHi and CamHiPro app simultaneously, but the CamHiPro app has a more modern interface design.

You can also add the camera to iSpy. To do this, find the "FFMPEG (H264)" column and fill in the information of the RTSP in the URL. You can then test the connection.

Configure your camera's Wi-Fi

To configure your camera's Wi-Fi, follow these steps:

• Ensure that your router is 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, and your mobile phone or device is connected to the same 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. The CamHi camera only supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.
• Connect the camera to its power supply. After about 40 seconds, you should hear a device tinkling sound. If you do not hear this sound, press and hold the reset button for 10 seconds at the device's base.
• Use the power adapter that came with the camera to avoid any potential damage to the equipment.
• Do not plug in wiring for power-on equipment. If you plug in wiring, you won't be able to configure Wi-Fi with one key.
• Note that some models do not support one-click configuration Wi-Fi. Box camera, dome camera, and other models use connection hotspots to configure Wi-Fi.
• If you are using a wired connection, connect the network cable to the equipment cable interface, and the other end to the router. Ensure the camera is turned on and wait for it to start up and complete the self-inspection.
• If the self-inspection fails, press and hold the recovery key to restore the factory settings.
• Open the CamHi app and click "Add Camera" on the main interface.
• Select "Add UID by scanning QR code" or "LAN search UID" after your mobile phone connects to Wi-Fi.
• Click on the camera model that appears in the camera list.
• Return to the camera list by clicking the confirmation button, and the camera should now be displayed as online.
• Conduct a preview by clicking on the camera.
• For wireless installation, click "Add Camera" > "Wireless Installation" > enter your Wi-Fi password.
• You should hear a voice prompt if the Wi-Fi configuration is successful. If you don't have audio equipment, refer to the picture prompt.
• Select the corresponding UID for the network camera in the network.
• Enter the camera password. The default password is usually "admin".
• Click the completion button in the upper right corner to finish adding the camera.
