General of IP Camera
General
Overview
The General Settings page provides basic device identification and core feature configuration options. Here you can customize the camera's display name and control the Mobile P2P remote access feature.
Configuration Options
Settings | Description | Default Status | Use Case |
Device Name | A customizable name for the camera that helps identify it on the network, in the AView app, and in system logs. | Model number (e.g., IPC-XXXX) | Useful when managing multiple cameras, allowing easy identification by location or purpose (e.g., "Front Door," "Warehouse A," "Parking Lot"). |
Mobile P2P | Enables or disables the Peer-to-Peer remote access feature. When enabled, you can access the camera remotely via the AView app using QR code or P2P ID without port forwarding. | Enabled | Disable if you do not require remote access, or if your security policy restricts P2P connections. Enable for quick and easy mobile access. |
Access Path
Configuration -> System -> General
Troubleshooting
Q: I enabled Mobile P2P but cannot find the QR code?
A: The QR code is located in Configuration -> Basic Settings -> P2P. Ensure you have saved the settings after enabling P2P in General Settings.
Q: Can I change the Device Name after initial setup?
A: Yes, the Device Name can be modified at any time. The new name will update across the web interface, AView app, and system logs.
Q: Does disabling Mobile P2P affect local access?
A: No. Disabling P2P only affects remote access via the AView app. Local access through the same network (via web browser or client software) remains unaffected.
When managing multiple cameras, use a consistent naming convention (e.g., [Location]_[Floor]_[Area]). This makes it much easier to identify cameras in the AView app and NVR systems.
