② Enter the device IP address into a web browser to access the web interface. The default username and password are admin. In the web interface, go to Access Control Settings → Video Settings to obtain the RTSP stream URL of the door phone.

③ Log in to the web interface of the indoor monitor or IP phone. The default username and password are also admin. Then go to Function Key → DSS Key.

④ Configure the DSS key as follows: set the key type to URL, then paste the RTSP address into the Value field. After saving the setting, press the configured DSS key on the phone or indoor monitor to start video preview.
