Unlike USB cameras, network cameras are devices that stream the data through the local area network (LAN) using a TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) configuration. Usually the preferred choice for security and surveillance purposes. Windows 10 supports discovery, pairing, configuring, and stream TCP/IP-enabled for major ONVIF Profile S compliant camera brands. As you connect new network cameras, the stream can be easily routed through the existing camera APIs, making it possible to capture images, stream, or record videos using the default Camera app or third-party solutions. This guide will teach you the steps to connect a network on Windows 10.
