A short path from unboxing to a first working inspection on Hikrobot smart cameras.
Use the specified PoE or 24 V supply. Set a fixed IP in the same subnet as your engineering PC. Confirm the camera appears in SCMVS discovery.
Connect, load a blank project, and verify live image. Adjust exposure and gain before adding tools — garbage in, garbage out.
Start with locate → measure or locate → presence. Keep the chain short until lighting and optics are stable.
Define trigger, ready and result bits early. Document the handshake before you refine algorithms.
Multiple cameras, heavy AI, complex multi-station logic or high data volume usually mean PC-based vision. See Smart vs PC.
