Overview
Onvif Device Manager For Macbook Pro Laptop
Onvif Device Manager is a software made by the Onvif community, used to discover all cameras in the local network that supports the Onvif standards.
Because the Verifire supports Onvif standards, so we can use this software to discover the camera.
The default network setting of the Verifire camera is DHCP, short for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, means that it will receive an IP address when you connect the camera to a router, and then it won’t use the 192.168.0.212 address.
You can lose track of the camera if you don’t know the correct IP address of the camera.
That’s why we use Onvif Device Manager to identify the IP addresses of the cameras.
