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.
Idea
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.
