Attention

  • The camera and the IPC must be in the same network segment before they can be used together.

    • If you use an automatically assigned IP, you do not need to manually set the camera’s IP and the IPC’s IP.

    • If you use a fixed IP, please consult the network administrator before filling in the IP. Please see IP Settings of Camera and IPC for details.

  • The camera’s firmware version must be consistent with Mech-Eye Viewer’s version.

  • If you already have image data and do not need to capture images from a camera, you can open the image data by starting a virtual camera. However, with a virtual camera, you cannot adjust exposure parameters.
