An IP address is like an identification number for a device on a network. It allows the Tail Air to communicate with other devices on the same network.
Setting the IP address on your OBSBOT Tail Air allows it to connect to your local live-streaming network. While the camera has automatic IP assignment enabled by default, you may want to set a static IP address. This tutorial explains configuring the IP settings through the Obsbot Start app.
Before setting the IP address, make sure you have:
1. Open the Obsbot Start app and connect to your camera's live view.
2. Tap the Settings icon in the bottom left corner.
3. Select About Device from the menu.
4. Scroll down and tap on Network to access the IP address settings.
5. Select the IP option that you want to enter. (We'll take Wireless IP as an example.)
6. Tap on Manual to manually assign an address.
7. Enter your camera's desired IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway.
8. Tap Save when finished.
Note: To make the new IP address work, you need to reconnect the camera.
If the camera fails to reconnect after changing the IP address, you may have entered incorrect info. Follow these steps to restore connectivity:
Setting a static IP can be tricky. If you are unfamiliar with network settings, it's best to use the automatic configuration. This tutorial should help you successfully change the IP address. Enjoy and get ready for further usage of the OBSBOT Tail Air!
