Abstract: A network camera includes a lens for capturing images, and a transmission circuit coupled to the lens. The transmission circuit includes a storage circuit for storing at least one code, and a processing circuit for executing the at least one code to perform following operations: connecting wirelessly to a wireless device via a wireless network, connecting wirelessly to another network camera via a wireless mesh network, bridging the wireless mesh network with the wireless network, receiving a set of data transmitted from the another network camera via the wireless mesh network, and transmitting the set of data to the wireless device via the wireless network.

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.
