1. Open any browser and paste the following URL:  
    <u>`<strong><a href="http://ca.me.ra.ip/axis-cgi/debug/debug.tgz?cmd=pcapdump&duration=60" rel="noopener" target="_blank">http://CA.ME.RA.IP/axis-cgi/debug/debug.tgz?cmd=pcapdump&duration=60</a></strong>`</u>  
    (Substitute the "CA.ME.RA.IP" with the IP address of the device.)
2. The browser will ask for credentials. The default ones are: `root/pass`.
3. Once you enter the credentials, a download will start. It will last for` 60 `seconds. Note that the last part of the URL (`"duration="`) will determine the amount of time the capture will run — you can change this number as needed.
4. Once finished, the file will be usually saved to the computer's` Downloads `folder.

### via the web interface

1. Open the camera's web interface.
2. Go to Settings -&gt; System -&gt; Maintenance
