How to install and use Camera Live on a compatible Windows or Mac PC/laptop

Camera Live is a free program for you Windows PC or Mac that can be used to locate its local IP address and to view the camera’s live feed locally and remotely.

First download the appropriate installation file from the links below and install the program.

For a Windows PC click here

For a Mac click here

Once you have installed the program, open it and click on Add Video. Then click on Discover to find the cameras UID, or enter it manually ensuring it is correct and all in uppercase. Enter the cameras password ensuring this is correct and in the correct case. Then give the camera a name e.g. garden, drive etc. and click on OK.

Once added wait for the camera to connect to the program. When it is connected you will see a green icon next to the UID, you can then view your camera’s live feed by clicking on the play icon. You will see the “No Video” message until you have viewed the live feed for the first time and the program can produce a thumbnail image from this.

Forgotten your password or getting a wrong password message?

If a password has been forgotten unfortunately there is no way to recover these as this would compromise the camera security.

The default username and password for the camera will be “admin” e.g.:

Username: admin
Password: admin

We recommend trying these first to see if they allow you to login.

These must be entered all in lowercase and should be double checked as some devices such as iPhones/iPads will set the first letter to uppercase automatically.

When changing the password this should be in alphanumeric characters (i.e. a,b,c… 1,2,3…) only with no special characters or spaces.

If the default password has been changed you cannot recall what you set it to you will need to reset the camera to the factory defaults to regain access.

NB: When you reset a camera it will reset it to factory defaults (and will lose the WiFi details you currently have set) so you should only perform a reset while your camera is connected to your router with an ethernet cable.

To do this can you:

1) Remove all cables connected to the camera.
2) Remove any SD card from the camera.
3) Wait 10 mins.
4) Connect the ethernet cable to the camera and your router, you should hear a click when the cable is connected.
5) Wait 2 mins.
6) Connect the power cable to the camera.
7) Wait 5 mins for the camera to power up.
8) Locate the camera’s reset button or recess.

For the outdoor camera this will be a button on the underneath of the camera or on the end of a cable.
For the indoor camera this will be a recess on the back of the camera that can be pressed with a paperclip or similar.

9) Press and hold for 20 seconds and release.
10) Wait 5 mins for the camera to reset ensuring it remains connected to your router with the ethernet cable throughout.

Then once the camera is reset can you log in to the camera interface using the default username and password which is “admin”

As the camera has been reset it will be at the factory defaults once again, so you will need to setup your camera again with the WiFi details, etc. as if from new.

To do this take a look at the setup guides in the section below.

Having touble setting up your camera to record to SD card/NVR/NAS drive.

Are you looking to setup recording? If so please see the links below for full setup guides for each recording method. If you have already set it up but have encountered an issue it may be worthwile running through the setup once more, to check for any errors or mistakes.

SD card recording

UCAM NVR recording

NAS Drive recording

If you are still seeing an error or it is not working as expected please take a look at the common issues and their solutions in the list below.

SD card not supported or faulty.

Motion detection page not configured correctly

NAS details not entered accurately.

NVR IP address may have changed.

Incorrect Task Management setup

How can I transfer video clips from an SD card in the camera to my computer?

If you are looking to transfer recordings from an SD card installed in the camera to you computer over WiFi this is limited to one file at a time for practical reasons:

1) If your SD card had, for example, 128GB of clips it would not only be very cumbersome to transfer that quantity to your computer over your local WiFi but potentially slow down your local network too. As SD cards have very limited file speeds transferring this magnitude of data may also take a very long time to offload.

2) It is also impractical or unwise to transfer en masse as it would also cause a slow down of the camera’s capabilities for the time while the transfer is progressing, and your camera could miss key motion events from being recorded.

Solutions? There are a number of options available to you:

– You can browse the recordings stored on your camera directly from a web browser and check which recordings are important to keep. You can play back the clips in your browser without needing to download to your computer first. Click here for a guide on how to do this.

– You can set the sd card to auto overwrite so that it automatically deletes the oldest recordings when the card is full, so you don’t have manually delete.

– You can use a number of tasks in the camera to automatically offload clips from the sd card (before they get overwritten) to Dropbox, your own FTP server, etc.

– If you really must download everything off the SD card the easiest and quickest way is to take the sd card out and insert directly into your computer (if it supports SD media) and then simply drag and drop the files off the card to your computer.

These are but a few suggestions. If you need further advice on the full range of recording and playback options do get in touch with our Support Team and they will be delighted to help.

Cannot connect to the camera remotely using the app.

Are you having trouble connecting to the camera using the app on your phone? This may be a p2p error. The camera and app use p2p to connect, if the camera is unable to connect to the p2p server then it will not be viewable via the app. Click here to check and resolve this.

Has the camera been set to a static IP? We do not recommend setting the camera to a static IP as this is not usually required and can render the camera inaccessible if setup incorrectly. Click here to check this has been setup correctly.

Is the UID correct and all in uppercase? If any character in the cameras UID is not in uppercase it will not be able to connect to the app remotely. If this is the case, delete the camera from the app and add it again. For help with this click here for an Android device and click here for an iOS device.

Changed WiFi router or given a new router by your ISP?

If for some reason you have changed/updated your WiFi router your camera(s) will need to be reset to factory defaults and setup again, since the WiFi details and ip addressing on your camera(s) will still be that of your old router.

To reset your camera(s) and start afresh please click here.

NB: Be sure to read and follow the reset instructions carefully to avoid any problems or delay in setup.

Once reset you will need to setup the WiFi connection again. Please follow one of the guides below to complete this.

PC Method

App Method

WPS Method, for WPS enabled routers.

Power LED flashing rapidly and camera offline?

A rapidly flashing green power LED usually indicates that the camera’s firmware has encountered an error. This is rare but can occasionally happen after an unexpected power cut (if the camera is in the middle of performing a task), due to incorrect settings in the camera (too many enabled tasks, conflicting settings etc.), or due to a faulty SD card.

This can usually be resolved with a reset of the camera. To do this first power down the camera and leave it for at least 10-15 minutes, then follow the steps on the page linked below to reset the camera. Note: a reset will clear all changed settings in the camera and revert it back to the defaults.

How to reset the camera

If the reset does not clear the error then you should get in touch with our support team using the “contact us” form as they will be able to advise on the next steps to resolve the issue.

To do this take a look at the setup guides in the section below.

Camera is rebooting often

Do you find the camera does not remain online for any length of time? If so this is usually a setup or a hardware error, typically with the SD card or the recording setup. Please take a look at the troubleshooting guides below to help resolve your issues.

SD card not working.

Too many tasks enabled.

Issues with power supply, outdoor cameras.

Cannot view the video from the app.

If you are having trouble viewing video in the app it is likely due to one of the issues listed below.

Poor Wifi connectivity

p2p disabled

Privacy mode enabled blocking access to the live feed.

Live feed or playback is jerky and not smooth

The first thing to check will be that the camera has a strong WiFi connection. This can be checked in the app by going to Edit Camera, Advanced Setting, WiFi Setting and should be at least 50-60%. A poor WiFi signal can cause the playback of the live feed to be poor. Click here for advice if the WiFi signal strength is poor.

If the WiFi connection is strong, the next thing to check will be that the stream setup is set appropriately for your network. The defaults for this are below and can be found by logging in to the camera’s web interface and going to Setting, Camera, Stream Setup.

The H.264 bitrate should be left at the default of 1536, raising this can cause the camera to send more data than your router can cope with causing a jerky live stream.

The MJPEG stream should not be set higher than the default of 50. This is an uncompressed stream that is used for the cameras motion detection, not for recording or streaming, raising this can cause issues with the streaming as it puts a high load on the camera.

You should also check that you do not have too many tasks enabled, conflicting tasks can cause issues with the camera’s ability to stream well. You should only have one of task 7, 8, 9 or 10 enabled at any one time. For more information on setting up the task management page click here.

NVR IP address keeps changing.

You have setup and NVR with a camera successfully however it stops recording after a short time.

This may be due to your router assigning the NVR a new IP address very often. In this case the best way to prevent this from changing and your details in the Storage Setup page becoming incorrect is by setting the NVR to a static IP address.

To do this please take a look at our setup guide for Setting the NVR to a Static IP address.

How to reset danale camera?

How does one reset the Danale camera exactly? Does it involve pressing a reset button on the back of the device? Keep on reading to find out.

The Danale camera brand is designed with the goal to make the latest security tech accessible, easy to use, and affordable to consumers. Their products come with some the biggest online and brick-and-mortar retailers around, from Amazon to Lowes as well as Best Buy.

How to Reset Danale Camera

In order to reset the Danale brand camera, go access the small reset button at the back of the cam then press it for 10 seconds. Furthermore, you’ll need to open the Danale app and delete the device from the account.

You can now start fresh and re-add the reset Danale cam to your app once the reset is over. Do this whenever you have to do a reset. This is the rule of thumb when resetting a nonspecific model of Danale cam.

Take note that when setting up the cam for the first time or subscribing to the cloud service, you need 15 minutes for the cloud video to become available. After it becomes available, it starts recording from the time you subscribed.

how to reset danale camera

What If the Cloud Video Doesn’t Work?

A physical reset of your Danale cam will depend on the device you’re using. Usually, there’s a small reset button on the device, but where it’s placed depends on the make and model of the cam. You need to press and hold this button for 10 seconds.

Afterwards, delete the camera from the Danale app so you can add it later. Tap on the live video feed or interface for the device you wish to remove. Tap the settings button found on the upper-right hand corner of the screen. Finally, tap on the delete button the lower part of the screen.

A reset entails erasure of many settings, customizations, and whatnot. This is because a reset entails restoring the device to factory settings or its original state before adding it to the app.

Frequently Asked Questions about Danale Cam

Here are the most frequently asked questions regarding how to use the Danale camera to its optimum capabilities along with its Danale app.

How Do You Log Out of Your Account?

Open the Danale app, tap on the three lines at the top left of the screen, tap on the picture above your username, and then tap on the “Log Out” option. You can sometimes get automatically logged out of the account too by simply closing the app.

What Do You Do If You Can’t Log In to Your Account?

More often than not, this is an issue with your Internet connection. First, check the state of the Home Wi-Fi you’re connected to. Check if your mobile phone or PC, for example, have Internet connections of their own to it.

You can either use your mobile phone Wi-Fi or connect to another network. Using a data plan can allow you connection to your Danale account, but normal data plan charges do apply. If this is the issue then just power cycle your router and see if that gets your Internet back.

Can You See Previous Notifications Before You Get a Cloud Service?

Will you be able to see your previous notifications after getting a cloud subscription if you had notification alerts before adding a cloud service?

Well, no. The notification alerts prior to cloud subscription can only be seen as soon as they appear. You can only record alert notification messages when you have the cloud service available. Also, only after buying the cloud service can the camera record video accompanying such alerts.

How Do You Change the Nickname for Your Camera?

Go to the main dashboard of the app and tap on the live feed video for the camera you wish to get an update for. Tap the gear icon found on the screen’s top-right corner.

Select the “Device Name” from the menu. This will allow you to change the name of the device to whatever name you want.

How Do You Adjust the Motion or Detection Alerts?

First, go to the camera you wish to add motion/sound detection adjustments to and tap on that camera’s live feed. Click on the gear icon or the three dots on the top right of the screen. A menu will appear. Select the “Security Settings” option from there.

Select either “Sound Detection” or “Motion Detection” options then adjust these alerts’ sensitivity. You can also opt out of them by turning them off. The more sensitive the detection the likelier you’ll end up with false alarms though.

How Do You Reset or Recover a Lost Password?

To reset your password, tap on the upper-left hand corner of your main screen to access “General Settings”. Afterwards, tap on the picture above your username and select the “Change Password” option. From there, change your password.

If you’ve merely forgotten your password, tap on “Forgot Password” on the login screen. Enter your phone number or account email. You’ll go to a page requesting for a reset code. You can get that code from your email or via text message.

Just enter the code exactly as you see it and now you can enter a new password to enter your Danale account.

How Do You Share Your Device with Another User?

While on the main screen, go to the top left of the screen and tap on the three bars there. A menu will appear. Select the “Share” option on the menu then select the “Add User” button for good measure. You can enter the username of the person you wish to share videos with or scan a QR code.

Please remember that sharing videos with another user entails him having their own account made by their own copy of the Danale app. This person will only get live-viewing privileges from your cam and won’t be able to view notifications or review your cloud video history.

Always Remember

Danale’s vision is to become the world leader in the smart security market. The company wishes to take care of people and make every home or business a safe place when push comes to shove. They take care of your commercial and residential needs with technology.
