Chapter IV: How to Access the Network Camera Remotely with iPhone & Android Phones

IC-3100 series features smart phone support for iPhone users and Android phone users to monitor their home using Edimax Network-Cameras.

Please check following instruction for installation. The following instruction applies to all Edimax routers

Step1:

Ensure My-PC is Internet-ready via Router

Step 2:

Check with your ISP (Internet Service Provider) whether a Public and fixed IP address is assigned to you. An IP address is like an unique phone number that is totally different from all the others' for calling a particular person. You could browse the Internet or monitor your home over the Internet with iPhone by using this unique IP address. Therefore, an unique IP address is a Public and fixed IP address. With this, it's much easy for iPhone monitoring your home. For example, an IP address looks like numbers separated with a dot as: 192.168.2.3

(1) Fixed and public IP address:

All IP addresses different from the following are fixed and public IP address 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255

172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255

192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255

Write down this IP address and go to Step 3. In this guide, we use a hypothetical IP address, 61.61.61.1 (yours is different)

(2) Dynamic IP address

If your ISP service staff cannot tell you what IP address is for you, you can still monitor your home with iPhone, but it turns more complicated.

Your IP address for browsing Internet will change by hours or by days.

Over 90% chance, you may get a dynamic IP address. There is a solution called Dynamic DNS (DDNS) for free. With this, you could register a name like http://my-name.dyndns.org for example to find out Edimax network camera

in the I-Phone. To apply for this, refer to the Appendix "How to apply for a free DNS account in the http://www.dyndns.org" In this guide, we assume you have already got http://my-name.dyndns.org. (yours may vary) and go to Step 3.

Step 3:

Configure the 1^st Camera based on the following:

Configure the 2^nd Camera based on the following:

Configure the Broadband Router based on the following:

5.2 How to apply for a free DNS account at http://www.no-ip.com

It's very likely your IP address (the Internet location) keeps changing every a couple of hours or every day depending on your ISP's policy. Therefore, as shown in the following figure, you may be assigned with an IP address, "61.61.61.1" hours ago, and now with a new IP address, "72.72.72.1". This means the router at "My-home" can be found at http://61.61.61.1 over the Internet is no longer available after a few hours. To find out the new location (IP address) of the router at My home over the Internet, you need to login to the router, checking the new IP address. However, this is not a workable solution.

To overcome this problem, an Internet service called NO-IP DNS is designed to help you trace the log of the changing IP address linking with a web site address (URL). As shown in the following figure, one PC called DNS server keeps revising the record "your-name.no-ip.org vs 61.61.61.1" in its internal DNS directory. It ends up entering http://your-name.no-ip.org in the iPhone can find out the 2 network camera at My-home.

Note: http://www.no-ip.com is not a branch or affiliate of Edimax. No commercial relation is involved between these 2 companies. The related service offered in the http://www.no-ip.com is for free for a specific time. However, Edimax does not guarantee this service.

First, go to http://www.no-ip.com and apply for an account.

And follow the steps:

Now, you could locate your home network camera using http://your-name.no-ip.org

5.3 Troubleshooting

If the network camera is not working properly, before you contact the dealer of purchase for help, please check the troubleshooting list here, this may help you to solve the problem by yourself and therefore saves your valuable time.

Scenario Possible Solution
I can not connect to network camera	a. Please confirm the IP address setting of the computer you're using. If they're not in the same subnet, they will not be able to communicate with each other.b. Please make the IP address you used to connect to the network camera is correct.c. If you forget the IP address of the network camera, you will have to reset it to factory default value (which is 192.168.2.3) by pressing ‘reset’ button at the bottom of the network camera. You'll need a pen or pin to be able to press the reset button. Press and hold reset button for 5 seconds, then try to connect to the network camera with IP address ‘192.168.2.3’ again.d. Please make sure network camera is correctly powered (the ‘Power’ LED should be on).e. If you're trying to connect to the network camera from Internet, please make sure the port that network camera uses (Video and HTTP port, see section 2.3.1) is not blocked by firewall or other software / hardware.f. Contact dealer of purchase for help, if above solutions do not work.
Image refreshes very slow	a. Try a higher frame rate setting, if it's not 30.b. Try a lower resolution.c. If you're connecting this camera from Internet, it could be caused by a slow Internet connection, and it's not a problem caused by camera.
