To connect Tix camera to the PC you need to use the USB port of the camera and a USB to LAN converter.

Configuring network adapter

You can connect LAN cable from the camera directly to the PC, without any router in between. In this case camera IP address is selected automatically from the automatic private IP range: 169.254.0.1 through 169.254.255.254.

In order to communicate with the camera, your PC network adapter must be configured to use the same IP range (subnet). The easiest way to do it is to select "Obtain an IP address automatically" option in the TCP/IPv4 settings of the PC network adapter connected to the camera. In this case computer's IP address will be also selected in the same 169.254.X.X range.
