how to reprogram trackmix wifi camera using laptop?

[phirephoto_633457091563556]

Hi All,

I have a trackmix WiFi camera.
My network is a mesh and I was having some issues. Long story short, one of my cameras is now connecting to a WiFi SSD that no longer exists and I don't recall the name (ie so I can't just start broadcasting the SSID to reconnect the camera). There's no ethenet near the camera, so I can't just connected it to the LAN, so I'll be bringing out a laptop to reconnect to it.
I'm guessing I need to statically assign myself an address on the laptop, ie 192.168.1.1, and then open up that IP in a browser?

Am I on the right pathe?

Thanks!

Hi, thanks for the info. What IP do. I set my PC to? I tried scanning the barccode on my phone, that didn't work. So I guess I need to computer to the ethernete on the camera.

Thanks.

@phirephoto_633457091563556 By default the camera gets the IP from the router through DHCP. The same applies for your PC. Once you connect to the WIFI, your PC will be assigned an IP by the router. However, you can assign a static IP to the camera but you need to exclude this from the DHCP assignment.
