How to Connect IP Cameras Alone with ANNKE VISION Phone App (without Using NVR)?

Purpose: If you have no NVR system and just would like to have the IP camera as a standalone camera, it is OK for the live view on the APP. Only the POE cameras with built-in SD card slot can store recordings.

Here are the steps for you:

If you confirm that the Live view of a camera is enough for you, and please kindly follow the below guide to set the camera up on the mobile phone.

First of all, please make sure the POE camera is activated. If not, please refer to this instruction before going ahead:

Please directly connect the cameras to your router. If your router is the standard router, you need to have an adapter(12V/1A) to power the camera on, then connect it to the router with the ethernet cable. If your router is a built-in POE switch, you can directly connect it with the ethernet cable without an additional power supply.
