of camera. Every camera has its unique MAC ID. So if there are many IP address showed in the list, check the
MAC ID, you can ensure which camera is it.
Sometimes, if there is no IP address showed on the IP Camera tool, maybe it’s blocked by firewall, then add
the MAC ID to the router, and give it a fixed IP or add the MAC ID as a trusted site. There are two MAC
Address, one is Device MAC ID, the other is WIFI MAC ID.
