2.2 Access the Camera in WAN

2.2.1 Static IP Addresses

Users who have static IP addresses do not need to set DDNS service settings for remote access. When you have finished connecting the camera using the LAN IP address and port forwarding, you can access the camera directly from the Internet using the WAN IP address and port number.

How to Obtain the WAN IP address from a public website

To obtain your WAN IP address, enter the following URL in your browser: http://www.whatismyip.com. The webpage at this address will show you the current WAN IP.

Visitors often come here to do an IP Address UNBEATABLE DEDICATED SERVERS ✓ DELL R200 Intel Core3Duo E2220 2.4Ghz ✓ 1GB DDR RAM ✓ 160GB SATA HDD

Figure 2.3

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 numb 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.

1) Login to your router to enable the "UPNP" function. You can then login to the camera as administrator, choose Network, and then choose UPnP to enable UPnP. Make sure that the status of UPnP reads "UPnP Successful" on the Device Status page.

2) Do port (HTTP port) forwarding manually.

If your router has a Virtual Server, it can do port forwarding. Add the camera's LAN IP and port which you have 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 service settings to view it remotely.

Step 1: Enter the username and password of the Administrator (default username is admin with a blank password), and click "OK" to apply changes.

Step 2: 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 to 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 stat LAN IP address!

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.?

1) 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 pc 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.

2) 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 Figure 2.4 and 2.5.

Modify the Http Port. Enter the Username and password, click OK.

Figure 2.5
Step 2: Modify the Http Port and enter the username and password of the Administrator, and click "OK" to apply changes.

Step 3: Wait around 10 seconds, you'll see that the camera's LAN IP address has changed. Also, the LAN IP address is now fixed at a static IP address of http://192.168.1.110:88. 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 that 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 stat LAN IP address!

Figure 2.6

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 Applicat & 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:

Applications & Gaming Wireless-N Home Router WRT120N Setup Wireless Security Access Restrictions Applications & Gaming Administration Status Single Port Forwarding Port Range Forwarding Port Range Triggering DMZ QoS Single Port Forwarding Application Name None None None None None Foscam Cam Fill the HTTP Port of the camera in the columns of External Port and Internal Port. Example: 2000 2000 2000 Both 192.168.8. 192.168.8. 192.168.8. 192.168.8. 192.168.8. 192.168.8. 192.168.8. 192.168.8. 100 ✓ Fill in this section with the LAN IP of the camera; we would enter "100" for our example. Assign a name for the port forward setting here

Figure 2.7

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.

DDNS Enable DDNS ✓ Manufacturer's DDNS Manufacturer's DDNS test09. myfcscam.org Restore DDNS to factory Third Party DDNS DDNS Server None Domain

Figure 2.8

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 DDN 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/2M, 1/VGA/25fps/4M, 2/VGA/15fps/1M and 3/VGA/10fps/200 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) Resolution

There are some resolutions, the bigger one is 720P, and the smaller one (VGA) is 640x480 pixels. The bigger the resolution, 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 the 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 cannot play well.

Please create the domain name step by step according to instructions on www.no-ip.com 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 DDN 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.

② Do port forwarding within the router

Example: The camera's LAN IP address is http://192.168.8.100:2000

Firstly, login the router, goes to the menu of Port Forwarding or Port Trigger (or named Virtue

Server on some brands of router). Take Linksys brand router as an example, Login the router, and goes to Applications & Gaming->Single Port Forwarding.

Secondly, Create a new column by LAN IP address & HTTP Port No. of the camera within the router showed as below.

Applications & Gaming Wireless-N Home Router WRT120N Setup Wireless Security Access Restrictions Applications & Gaming Administration Status Single Port Forwarding Port Range Forwarding Port Range Triggering DMZ QoS Single Port Forwarding Application Name None None None None None External Port Internal Port Protocol To IP Address Enabled --- --- --- 192.168.8. --- --- --- --- 192.168.8. --- --- --- --- 192.168.8. --- --- --- --- 192.168.8. --- Foscam Cam 2000 2000 Both 192.168.8. 100 --- Both 192.168.8. --- Both 192.168.8. --- Fill the LAN IP of the camera here, just input the last section Assign a name as you like here Fill the Media Port no. of the camera on the column of External Port and Internal Port

Figure 4.31

③ Use domain name to access the camera via internet

After the port forwarding is finished, you can use the domain name+ http no. to access the camera via internet. Take hostname ycxgwp.no-ip.info and http no. 2000 for example, the accessing link of the camera via internet would be http://ycxgwp.no-ip.info:2000

4.4.5 UPnP

Save Refresh Enable UPnP Yes

Figure 4.32

The default UPnP status is closed. You can enable UPnP, then the camera's software will be configured for port forwarding. Back to the "Device Status" panel, you can see the UPnP status:

Device Status Refresh Alarm Status Disabled NTP Status Failed DDNS Status Success http://test09.mvfoscam.org:88 UPnP Status Success WiFi Status Not connected IR LED Status Off

Figure 4.33

The camera's software will be configured for port forwarding. There may be issues with your routers security settings, and sometimes may error. We recommend you configure port forwarding manually on your router.

4.4.6 Port

This camera supports HTTP Port / HTTPS Port / ONVIF Port. HTTP Port is used to access the camera remotely.

HTTP port: By default, the HTTP and Media port is set to 88. Also, they can be assigned with another port number between 1 and 65535. But make sure they can not be conflict with other existing ports like 25, 21.

Port HTTP Port 88 HTTPS Port 443 ONVIF Port 888 Save Refresh

Figure 4.34

Another way to change the HTTP port no.

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 Figure 4.35 and 4.36.

IP Camera Tool Camera name IP Address Device ID Device type anonymous Http 00841FI9804W H Basic Properties Network Configuration Upgrade Firmware Refresh Camera List Flush Arp Buffer About IP Camera Tool Select which camera you'd like to change the port for, and right click

Modify the Http Port . Enter the Username and password, click OK.

Figure 4.36

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 to 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 stat LAN IP address!

Camera name	IP Address	Device ID	Device type
anonymous	Http://192.168.1.110:88	00841FI9804W	H

Figure 4.37

NOTE:

If the camera cannot be accessed, please make sure the port forwarding is succeed.

HTTPS port: The default port is 443. You can use the url to access the camera: https:// IP + HTTPS port. ONVIF port: By default, the ONVIF port is set to 888.

Figure 4.43

Stream type: There are four types to identify different streams you have set.

Resolution: The camera supports multiple types. 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 should 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.

Variable Bitrate: The two options are Yes and NO. Select Yes the bit rate is variable, and the highest value isn't higher than Bit Rate Value (2Mbps). Select NO and the bit rate is constant with Bit Rate Value (2Mbps).

4.5.2 On Screen Display

IE browser→Tool→Internet Properties→Security→Trusted sites→Sites→Add

(2) Open IE browser, then right click, select "Run as administrator"

6.1.6 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:

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.

6.1.7 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.
3 Port forwarding is not successful.

Check these settings and make sure they are correct.

6.1.8 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.

6.1.9 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.
