Network Setups for Using Existing IP Cameras

This page was machine-translated. The Japanese page is the official version.

This page describes network configurations for receiving video from an existing IP camera in a store and running AI inference on a Raspberry Pi or ai cast, when:

1. The existing IP camera is on the store’s local network.
2. The store’s local network is isolated from the Internet.

Choose a network configuration

Use the flowchart to select a configuration for the store’s local network.

Case A: Local network uses a switch without DHCP

Configure the network as follows:

1. Assign a static IP address on the local network to ai cast.

   Replace 192.0.2.10 with the actual IP address.

2. Connect ai cast to the store’s local network over wired LAN.

3. Connect ai cast to a mobile Wi-Fi router over Wi-Fi.

   Replace SSID/Password with the actual values.

4. Connect the mobile Wi-Fi router to Actcast over LTE.

Case B: Local network uses a Wi-Fi router with DHCP

Configure the network as follows:

1. Connect ai cast to the store’s network over Wi-Fi.
2. Connect ai cast to a mobile router over wired LAN.
3. Connect the mobile router to Actcast over LTE.

Case C: The local network uses a router, or ai cast cannot connect to it over Wi-Fi

Configure the network as follows:

1. Connect the store’s network to a Wi-Fi router over wired LAN.
2. Connect the Wi-Fi router to ai cast over Wi-Fi.
3. Connect ai cast to a mobile router over wired LAN.
4. Connect the mobile router to Actcast over LTE.
