Want to watch the Sricam IP camera's real time monitoring video on PC? Want to control your Sricam IP camera on PC? Let's do it.

The battery consumes too fast when watching the Scricam IP camera's real-time videos on mobile devices, and you cannot watch different location's live videos at the same time on a mobile device if you have installed several cameras at different places. So you do want to control cam and watch the CCTV images on the PC, right? Sure, it's much more convenient. So let's see how to realize it.

Step 1. Install Device Viewer software on PC.

Download the Sricam IP camera's official PC CMS software "Device Viewer" from its official website and install it on your PC. The software only supports running on the Windows 7, 8, 10 OS, the Vista and Mac OS are not supported.

Step 3. Add device.
