**Welcome!**

1. Connect your Camio Box to a router (or switch) via an ethernet cable on the same local network as the cameras/NVR, then plug in the AC power.

**NOTE**: If your network doesn't support **DHCP** assignment of IP Addresses and access to **DNS** servers **8.8.8.8**, then please collect the information required to [configure the Box's network connection manually via USB stick](https://help.camio.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000379266).

2. Find the MAC address of your Camio Box printed on the slip of paper included in the packaging of your Box (you can also use a network-scanning application like [Fing](https://help.camio.com/hc/en-us/articles/206214636) if you don't have the paper slip).

3. Go to [https://camio.com/box/register](/content/box/register/index.html) and enter the MAC address, then click the **Register** button.

Once your Box is registered, click **Next** to go to your **[camio.com/boxes](/content/boxes/index.html)** page. Press the **Scan** button for Box to scan your local network for [recognized cameras](https://github.com/CamioCam/rtsp/blob/master/cameras/paths.csv).

After the network scan has completed, choose the cameras you’d like to connect to Camio and give each of them a unique name that describes its location (e.g. "entrance", "loading dock") for easy search & alerts.

The steps above assume you've already connected IP cameras to your local network.
