Access your IP Camera from the Internet
You can access the IP Camera from the Internet (remote access). Enter the WAN IP address and port numk in your standard browser. For example, you would enter http://183.37.28.254:85
Note
Make sure port forwarding is successful. You can do port forwarding two ways.
Login to your router to enable the "UPNP" function. You can then login to the camera as administrator, choo Network, and then choose UPnP to enable UPnP. Make sure that the status of UPnP reads "UPnP Successf on the Device Status page.
Do port (HTTP port and Media port) forwarding manually. (See Figure 2.11 for further details)
If your router has a Virtual Server, it can do port forwarding. Add the camera's LAN IP and port which you set earlier to your router's port forwarding settings.
Note: If you plug the camera into a router, it will have a dynamic IP address and you need to set DDNS se
settings to view it remotely.
2.2.2 Dynamic IP Addresses
DDNS is a service that allows your IP Camera, especially when assigned with a dynamic IP address, to have fixed host and domain name. This means that even though your WAN IP address is constantly changing, you will have a fixed hostname you can use to access your cameras at all times. You can access the camera directly from the Internet using the hostname and port number.
What is the HTTP Port NO.?
Default HTTP Port is 88
All cameras have the default HTTP port of 88. For example, if the LAN IP link of the camera is http://192.168.8.102:88, this means that the camera's HTTP port is 88. You can change port 88 to another port if you'd like such as 2000 or 8090, which will not be conflict with other existing ports like 25, 21,10000. Here can set the port no. between 1 and 65535.
Change the default http NO.88 to another one.
How to assign a different HTTP Port No. and fixed the LAN IP of the camera by the IP Camera Tool?
Step 1: Open the IP Camera Tool, select the camera you would like to change the port of, right click on the IP address, and click on "Network Configuration", this brings up the network configuration box as shown in Figur 2.8 and 2.9.

Modify the Http Port. Enter the Username and password, click OK. 26E4D8A55 HFigure 2.10
Step 2: Enter the username and password of the Administrator (default username is admin with a blank password), and click "OK" to apply changes.
Step 3: Wait around 10 seconds, you'll see that the camera's LAN IP address has changed. In our example it was changed to 2000, so we see http://192.168.8.102:2000 in IP Camera Tool. Also, the LAN IP address is now fixed at a static IP address of http://192.168.8.102:2000. This IP address will not change even if the camera is powered off and back on, the camera will remain on this LAN IP address. This is very important a static LAN IP address is set, or you may have problems later with remote access and seeing the camera remotely if the camera loses power and reconnects on a different LAN IP address. Make sure you set a static LAN IP address!

What is Port forwarding?
If you have never done port forwarding before, you can open and view the following link to understand the basic concept. Port forwarding allows for outside connections to access a specific device on your network from anywhere in the world. Every router automatically blocks any incoming connections for safety purposes. Using port forwarding, you are telling your router to allow a connection through a certain port (you can think of it a gateway) into your router. You set this port to a specific device, in our case an IP Camera, so it can be accessed from anywhere in the world.
Click this link to learn more about port forwarding: http://portforward.com/help/portforwarding.htm
How do we configure Port Forwarding?
For this section, we will be using an example:
Let's say the camera's LAN IP address is http://192.168.8.100:2000
Step 1: Login to the router, and go to your router's port forwarding or port triggering menu. Sometimes this is also under the name of Virtual Server or NAT.
Using the Linksys brand router as an example, we would log into the router, and go to the Applications & Gaming menu. We would then click on the "Single Port Forwarding" sub-menu.
Step 2: Create a new column using the LAN IP address & HTTP Port of the camera within the router as shown below, then push OK or Submit to save your settings:

Foscam Cam External Port Internal Port Protocol To IP Address Enabled --- --- --- 192.168.8 Fill the HTTP Port of the camera in the columns of External Port and Internal Port. Example: 2000 Fill in this section with the LAN IP of the camera; we would enter "100" for our example. 2000 2000 Both 192.168.8 100 Both 192.168.8 Both 192.168.8Figure 2.12
First method :
Use the embedded DDNS to access the camera via the Internet
Each Foscam camera has an embedded unique DDNS domain name, the format of this domain name is xxxxxx.myfoscam.org. On the bottom of the camera, you can see the domain name sticker with this information on it.
For example, we can use test09.myfoscam.org. In the camera, click Settings at the top, click "Network" on the left, then click "DDNS" to get to the DDNS settings page. Here you can see the unique domain name of your camera.

text_image
Enable DDNS ✓ Manufacturer's DDNS Manufacturer's DDNS test09.myfoscam.org Restore DDNS to factory Third Party DDNS Domain DDNS Server Address NoneFigure 2.13
Now you can use "http://Domain name + HTTP Port" to access the camera via the Internet.
Take hostname test09.myfoscam.org and HTTP Port of 2000 for example, the URL link to access the camera via the Internet would be http://test09.myfoscam.org:2000.
Second method :
Use the Third party DDNS to access the camera via the Internet
Step 1 Please go to the third party DDNS website(such as www.no-ip.com) to create a free hostname.
Step 2 DO DDNS Service Settings within the Camera
Please set DDNS Settings within the camera by hostname, a user name and password you've got from www.no-ip.com
Take hostname ycxgwp.no-ip.info, user name foscam, password foscam2012 for example.
Firstly, goes to option of DDNS Settings on the administrator panel.
Secondly, select No-lp as a server.
Thirdly, fill foscam as DDNS user, fill password foscam2012 as DDNS password, fill ycxgwp.no-ip.info as DDNS domain and server URL, Then click save to make effect. The camera will restart and to take the DDNS settings effective.
Fourthly, after the restart, login the camera, and go to option of Device Status on the administrator panel, and check if the DDNS status is successful.
If failed, please double check if you have input the correct hostname, user name, and password, and try to redo the settings.
Note
If you have set Third Party DDNS successfully, the Foscam Domain Name will be invalid. The Third Party DDNS and the Foscam Domain Name cannot work at the same time, the last time you configured will take effect.

The default Stream supports four modes: 0/720P/30fps/4M, 1/VGA/25fps/2M, 2/VGA/15fps/1M and 3/VGA/10fps/200K. The format of the stream type is Stream type no. / Resolution / Maximum frame rate/
Bit rate.
1) Stream type no. : The number is used to identify the stream type.
2) 960P/720P/ VGA/QVGA
There are four resolutions, the biggest one is 960P, the smallest one is 640x120 (QVGA) pixels. The bigger resolution is , the better of the image quality is. If you are accessing the camera via internet and want to get more fluent video streaming, please select resolution VGA.
3) Maximum frame rate
When the video format is 50Hz, the maximum frame rate is 25 fps. When the video format is 60Hz, the maximum frame rate is 30 fps. You should lower frame rate when the bandwidth is limited. Normally, when t frame rate above 15, you can achieve fluently video.
4) Bit rate
Generally speaking, the larger the bit rate is, the clearer video will become. But the bit rate configuration should combine well with the network bandwidth. When the bandwidth is very narrow, and bit rate is large, that will lead to video can not play well.
You can reset the stream type on "Settings-> Video-> Video Settings" panel.

Video Settings Save Refresh Main stream video settings Stream Type 0 Resolution 720P Bit Rate 2M Frame Rate 30 Key Frame Interval 30 Sub stream video settings Stream Type 0 Resolution VGA(640*480) Bit Rate 512K Frame Rate 15 Key Frame Interval 45Figure 4.39
Stream type: There are four types to identify different streams you have set.
Resolution: The camera supports four types: 720P, 960P, VGA, QVGA. The higher the resolution is, the clearer video will become. But the code flux will become larger too, and it will take up more bandwidth.
Bit rate: Generally speaking, the larger the bit rate is, the clearer video will become. But the bit rate configuration should combine well with the network bandwidth. When the bandwidth is very narrow, and bit rate is large, that will lead to video can not play well.
Frame rate: Note that a larger frame size takes up more bandwidth. When the video format is 50Hz, the maximum frame rate is 25 fps. When the video format is 60Hz, the maximum frame rate is 30 fps. You show lower frame rate when the bandwidth is limited. Normally, when the frame rate above 15, you can achieve fluently video.
Key Frame Interval: The time between last key frame and next key frame. The shorter the duration, the more likely you will get a better video quality, but at the cost of higher network bandwidth consumption.

7.1.5 Camera can not record
Camera can not record when I click Record button or I can't change the manually record path. When you use Windows7 or Vista, you may be not able to do manually record or change the record path because of the security settings of computer.
There are two ways to resolve this problem:
( 1 ) Please add the camera as a trusted site to resolve this issue. The steps are
IE browser→Tool→Internet Properties→Security→Trusted sites→Sites→Add
( 2 ) Open IE browser, then right click, select "Run as administrator"
7.1.6 Subnet doesn't match
Check whether your ipcamera in the same subnet of your computer. The step is Control Panel→Network Connections→Dbclick Local Area Connections → Choose General→Properties.(Figure 3.23/3.24) Check subnet mask, IP address and gateways. When you set IP address please make sure they are in the same subnet. Otherwise you can't access camera.
7.1.7 No Pictures Problems
The video streaming is transmitted by the ActiveX controller. If ActiveX controller isn't installed correctly you will see no video image. You can resolve this problem by this way:
Download ActiveX controller and set the safety property of IE in the PC when you view it first time: IE browser→Tool→Internet Proper→Security→Custom Level→ActiveX control and Plug-ins. Three options of front should be set to be “Enable”, The ActiveX programs read by the computer will be stored. As follows:
Enable: Download unsigned ActiveX controls
Enable: Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe
Enable: Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins

NOTE: Make sure that your firewall or anti-virus software does not block the camera or ActiveX. If you could not see video, please shut down firewall or anti-virus software to try again.
7.1.8 Can't access IP camera in internet
There are some reasons:
1、ActiveX controller is not installed correctly
2、The port which camera used is blocked by Firewall or Anti-virus software. Please change another port number and try again. (Figure7.7)
3、Port forwarding is not successful(Figure4.30)
Check these settings and make sure they are correct.
7.1.9 UPnP always failed
UPnP only contains port forwarding in our recent software. Sometimes, it may be failed to do port forwarding automatically because of firewall or anti-virus software. It also has much relation with router's security settings. So we recommend you do port forwarding manually. You can view your camera in internet successfully after you do port forwarding manually in your router(Figure 4.30).
7.1.10 Camera can not connect wireless
If your camera could not connect wireless after you set wireless settings and plug out the cable. Please check whether your settings are correct or not.
Normally, camera can't connect wireless mainly because of wrong settings.
Make sure broadcast your SSID; use the same encryption for router and camera.
7.1.11 Can't see other cameras listed in multi-device when using remote access
If you want to view all the cameras via the WAN, verify that each camera added in the multi-device settings be accessed by using the DDNS name and port number. Use the DDNS domain name not the camera's LAIP. (For more details see: How to add cameras in WAN)
