Figure 10

4.2 Port forwarding

Most current routers have UPnP, or Universal Plug and Play. The default within the iBaby monitor is for UPnP to be on, meaning that the software takes care of port forwarding automatically. To configure a port manually, you must first connect to it over your LAN.

Please consult your router's User Manual for port forwarding configuration information. Once port-forwarding is configured, your iBaby Monitor should be accessible over the Web.

4.3 DDNS

DDNS stands for Dynamic Domain Name Service. Think of it as a URL assigned to your specific iBaby monitor that allows you to view the monitor from any computer connected to the Web.

4.3.1 Manufacturer's DDNS

The device manufacturer has provided a free DDNS. You can find it in the Network menu, as shown in Figure 11, and on a sticker at the base of the unit.

Figure 11

4.3.2 Third Party DDNS

You can also use a DDNS supplied by a third party. To do so, obtain the DDNS and fill it in as shown in Figure 12.

Figure 12

Note: If your third-party DDNS does not use Port 80, you need to specify the port when entering in the DDNS. Do this by appending a colon and then the port number following the entry for the DDNS. The manufacturer DDNS is not needed to add PORT.

5 Other Settings

5.1 Network Settings

5.1.1 Basic Network Settings

Figure 13 shows how to set up the Basic Network Settings to have an IP address assigned to your iBaby monitor automatically.

Figure 13

5.1.2 Wi-Fi Setting

If your iBaby monitor is going to be set up over Wi-Fi, use the configuration menu shown in Figure 14. First, click the "Scan" button to see the available networks. Highlight the one you wish to use, then check "Using Wireless Lan." Then fill in the SSID, encryption method and share key or password; you can get this information from your router. Click "Set" when finished.

Figure 14

Note 1: When the device is connected to both a Wi-Fi and wired network, it will first try to connect to the wired network. If that connection fails, it will switch to Wi-Fi. The IP address and port is the same in either case.

Note 2: The iBaby monitor needs to be connected by cable to your router before the wireless settings described above can be put in place. Once the Wi-Fi settings have been saved, you can remove the cable, and the wireless connection will begin operating.

5.1.3 ADSL Settings

Users with ADSL Dialup should configure their device as shown in Figure 15. The user name and password should be obtained directly from your ADSL service provider.

Once the settings are saved, connect the iBaby monitor directly to the ADSL modem, and it will be connected to the Internet.

Figure 15

5.1.4 UPnP Setting

If you enable UPnP by checking its box as shown in Figure 16, the iBaby monitor, upon power-up, will communicate with the router and handle port-forwarding automatically.

Figure 16

Before using UPnP, please make sure your router's UPnP function has been enabled. Note that since not all UPnP implementations are the same, and you may discover that your router doesn't properly support the iBaby monitor. Should this occur, disable UPnP and assign port-forwarding manually.

Figure 31

7 FAQ

1) Can I use any adaptor with my iBaby monitor? No, an unmatched power adapter can severely damage the equipment.
2) Why is my browser slow when I look at video from my camera? That may occur if your Web connection isn't fast enough to support the MJEPG video compression used by the iBaby monitor. The typical bandwidth uses situation as below:

640x480@10fps : 4.0 Megabits \~ 5.0 Megabits

320x240@30fps : 1.2 Megabits \~ 1.6 Megabits

3) I can't find my iBaby monitor after I have connected it to a LAN

Make sure the monitor and your PC are on the same LAN. Make sure your firewall is not blocking signals from the device.

4) I can see my camera listed, but I can't access it. Make sure both the camera and the PC have the same Network Segment in their IP address. (This is the first three numbers of the address.) If the IP address of your PC, for example, is 192.168.0.100, it can only access equipment with IP addresses between 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.255.
5) I can access the monitor via its public IP address, but I can't visit it via the manufacturer's domain name

Make sure the DNS settings are the same as on your PC.
