Introduction​

Welcome to reCamera Pro. This guide will assist you in completing the hardware connection, logging into the device Web interface, configuring the wireless network, and troubleshooting common connection failures.

1. Hardware Connection​

Before starting the configuration, please ensure that you have prepared the following hardware:

  • Data Cable: A USB Type-C cable with data transmission capabilities (do not use a cable that only supports charging).
  • Power Supply: A DC power cable (specification requirements: 12V, 1A, the standard factory power supply is: 12V, 2A).

Connection Steps​

  1. As shown in the figure below, plug the 12V DC power cable into the device's power interface, connect one end of the USB Type-C cable to the reCamera Pro, and connect the other end to your Windows host machine (Host PC).
  2. Observe the device status indicator. When the green light is solid, it indicates that the device has successfully booted and entered the operating state.

Unplug the Type-C Cable for Wireless Management

After obtaining the local area network IP assigned by Wi-Fi (e.g., 192.168.4.200), as long as your computer and reCamera Pro are within the same local area network, you can directly enter this IP address (e.g., http://192.168.4.200) in the browser to log in to the device. At this point, you can safely unplug the USB Type-C cable to achieve full wireless operation and management.
