Connect Apps to AURGA Viewer
Video Demonstration

When AURGA Viewer starts, it will create a Wi-Fi hotspot like AURGA-XXXXXX by default.
There are two modes to connect app to AURGA Viewer:
a) Direct-Connect Mode
b) Bridge Mode
Normally we recommend to use Direct-Connect mode to get better performance. But if the router, AURGA Viewer and client devices in a same room and all have good qualities of 5G signals. Bridge mode is more convenience.
Direct-Connect Mode
Connect the client device of app to AURGA Viewer's hotspot directly
Go to OS settings -> Wi-Fi settings -> scan the Wi-Fi in WLAN.
Connect phone or tablet to AURGA Viewer's hotspot.
If the desktop computer/laptop has Wi-Fi adpater. Connect the computer to AURGA Viewer's hotspot.
If the desktop computer doesn't have a Wi-Fi adpater. Please check Bridge mode.
Bridge Mode
Bridge AURGA Viewer to WLAN. Make sure both the client device (app side) and AURGA Viewer connecting to a same router.
If AURGA Viewer bridges to a router, client device still could connect to AURGA Viewer with Direct mode and get internet accessed.
Currently, we can only bridge AURGA Viewer to router by iOS/Android app.

a) Directly connect iOS/Android device to AURGA Viewer's hotspot
b) Run the app -> search and connect to the AURGA Viewer -> switch to Device tab -> select Internet -> choose router's hotspot -> enter password if necessary.
Connect the client device to router, if the app could find AURGA Viewer, it means AURGA Viewer bridges to router sucessfully.

Important Notes
- Handshake Process: The AURGA Viewer and client apps only perform a handshake through the central server. Video streaming occurs directly between the AURGA Viewer and client apps.

- IPv6 Recommendation: We highly recommend enabling IPv6 on your AURGA Viewer for improved connectivity.
Advanced Options
For users with advanced technical skills, hosting your own central server can offer better connectivity and enhanced privacy.
