The Swann 3G Connect Cam 500 is a basic IP camera. It is Wireless, with a 802.11g functionality, and can run over Ethernet. It is perfect for a budget indoor IP camera that is compatible with Linux MCE.

Once you have plugged the camera and you know the IP address and Mac address, it is very simple to setup. Just browse to the admin system. At the bottom of the left hand pane, click "Show Devices Tree". Click CORE on the left, then click "Create child device".

Enter a common name for the camera, eg "Swann 500"

Enter the IP address and Mac address.
