Now, turn on the camera by way of "touch" on the bottom right of the button On / Off. There you will see the IP take-up of the camera along with the port of the camera. At present, back to the notebook / computer, connect to WiFi with Android phones that have WiFi Tethering Sharing enabled. Once connected, open a web browser and enter the IP address of the take-up as stated in the previous image. In the example, take up the IP used is 192.168.43.1 with port 8000 then the browser address, write http://192.168.43.1:8000/ If all processes are configured properly, you will see the words as shown below.
