LINUX Setup
1. Prerequisite: You must have a computer running a version of Linux with the USBnet driver
loaded and with support for RNDIS compiled into it. Most modern versions of Linux meet this
requirement.
2. Turn on the camera and plug it into a USB port.
3. Get a terminal open as root.
4. Run ifconfig –a and locate a USB Ethernet adapter.
[root@localhost Desktop]# ifconfig -a

5. Assign an IP address and netmask to the USB Ethernet adapter identified in the previous step.
[root@localhost Desktop]# ifconfig usb0 172.16.197.198 netmask 255.255.255.252
6. You can now ping the camera at 172.16.197.197, use a web browser (e.g. Firefox) to get to the
HTML administration page at http://172.16.197.197, and use a video player (e.g. VLC) to access
the RTSP stream at rtsp://172.16.197.197:8554/stream
