Does the IP network camera go to the switch first and then monitor the host?

Let's talk about the working mode of IP network monitor/camera first! Network monitors usually have a fixed IP address, just like the gateway address of a router. As long as your network monitor is not broken, you can connect it to any computer in the LAN after connecting it to the LAN. Architecture principle: network monitor-network switch/router-computer. In other words, the network monitor should be connected to the switch/router with a network cable first, and then the computer should be connected to the switch/router. At this time, open the computer browser-enter the IP address of the network monitor (if it is not written on the monitor, you have to enter the switch/router to set the IP for the port of the network monitor)-and then the window that pops up in the browser should be the account/password input interface of the network monitor-enter the user name and password of the network monitor-and enter the main interface of the network monitor. If you know nothing, you can ask me.
