So I met the same issue that you got when following the lab tutorial and in order to resolve it, you need to :

  1. left-click on the webcam --> it will open its setting windows
  2. click the "Advanced" button --> the "I/O Config" tab will appear
  3. under "I/O Config" tab you will need to change the value of the field "Network Adapter" and select one type of adapter which can connect to the router by ethernet for example the one ending with "CFE" like in here attached picture
  4.

In the example you mentioned, it might you're using a network module with Wi-Fi connectivity (PT-IOT-NM-1W-AC), and it's not compatible with your webcam or the network setup. To resolve this, try using a network module with Ethernet connectivity (PT-IOT-NM-1EC) instead. This should allow you to connect your webcam to the home router successfully.
