Abstract

An IP camera with a wireless relay function includes a lens, a wireless client interface, a wired client interface, a Wi-Fi SoftAP interface, and a bridge interface. The lens receives image data. The wireless client interface transmits the image data to a first wireless client device through a wireless network. The wired client interface transmits the image data to a first wired client device through a wired network. The Wi-Fi SoftAP interface is a virtual interface to be connected to a second wireless client. The bridge interface uses the Wi-Fi SoftAP interface to communicate with the second wireless client, and connects the Wi-Fi SoftAP interface to the wired client interface or the wireless client interface, so that the second wireless client device obtains an IP address and connects to Internet through the wired client interface or the wireless client interface.
