Introduction
This How-To document is intended to guide you how to access live view of all brands of IP
cameras through EverFocus IP Sidekick (ESK1000). You can also refer to the video clip on
Youtube (click here).
IP Sidekick, a brand new utility tool is designed to assist installers with IP camera installation. It
is a battery powered Wi-Fi access point with a 30 watt PoE port. After mounting the camera,
the installers can power it up using the IP Sidekick and a tablet/smart phone to test/view the
camera and make adjustments right at the camera. It works with any manufacturers who offer
an App that connects directly to their cameras. For cameras without App provided, you can
also access the camera live view through Web browsers.
Everfocus IP Sidekick can be applied to:
All EverFocus IP cameras (EF Sidekick App provided)
All brands of IP cameras with their own App provided*
* For IP cameras without App provided, camera live view can be accessed through Web
browsers.
Notice
The Sidekick Router is built-in with a DHCP server. If you are using a DHCP configured IP camera,
you can simply connect your IP camera to IP Sidekick without any configurations. For IP
cameras with Static IP configured, you will have to set up a static IP for your smart phone in
order to connect your smart phone and the IP camera on the same wireless network.
