Camera Controller

The CHAMP |Camera Controller is a hardware device for controlling your Cameras from outside the CHAMP software. It comes pre-configured to work with your cameras right out-of-the-box, so no setup is required.

SETUP

Simply plug the included Ethernet cable into an available Ethernet port on the back your CHAMP |Power hardware. This will provide both power and data to the |Camera Controller.

If you don’t have more than one Camera, then you may not have the CHAMP |Power hardware. If that is the case, simply plug in the power adapter included in the box.
