Static IP user is not need to use DDNS for remote access. When finished the setting of
the IP Camera in LAN, you can access the Camera directly from Internet by the WAN IP.
You can obtain the WAN IP by two ways.

Obtain the WAN IP from some Website

You can discover this easily by opening on a computer using the same connection as the
IP camera and entering this address: http://www.whatismyip.com.The page at this
address will show you the current WAN IP.

According to MSN and IP camera built-in account access (details:3.53)

Obtain the WAN IP address from the router

Take the WRT54G router of LINKSYS for example,
1) Obtain the IP address of the router(LAN gateway address),user name and password
for logon to the router from the network administrator,
2) Enter the LAN IP address of the router(LINKSYS WRT54G default:192.168.1.1) in the
address bar of the IE to log on to the router; Open the Status page to find out the WAN
address of the router. In this example, the address is 116.25.51.115.(Figure7.1)

Figure8.3

Access the IP Camera from the Internet

User can access the IP Camera from the Internet, Enter WAN IP address + port number
in the IE to access IP Camera. For example, Http:// 116.25.51.115:8999

Note: Make sure the Port mapping is success. You can do port mapping by two ways:
Enter setting page of the router which IPCAM connect with to enable UPNP function.
Enter IPCAM UPnP Settings to enable UPNP and make sure the state is UPnP
success.
If your router has the Virtual Map function. Enter router setting page, add IP CAMs IP
and port to the Virtual map list.

4.5 How to use DDNS

When use ADSL, the IP Camera will connect to the Internet through ADSL automatically.
For each ADSL reconnection, ISP will re-assign a new IP address for the IP Camera to
facilitate the access. DDNS(Dynamic Domain Name Server) can map the dynamic IP
address of an IP Camera to a fixed domain name. Therefore, we can access the IP
Camera by the fixed domain name whether the IP address changes or not. The IP
address is not necessary when you using the DDNS via the domain name to find your
network.

1) Go to the website which Provides free domain name, register and apply a free domain
name. such as http://www.dyndns.com(details:5.1.6 ).
2) login the Camera homepage as Administration and enter DDNS Service Settings
page input the name, password and Host(details: 3.5.4) .Then click <SUBMIT> and
reboot Device.
3) Re-login the Camera homepage and enterDDNS Service Settingspage to check the
DDNS Status is DynDns Succeed or not.
4) EnterUPnP Settingspage,the UPnP Status should be UPnP Succeed.If the status
is not Succeed, you may enter Basic Network Settings page to change Http Port
(details: 3.5.2). Then click <SUBMIT> and reboot Device.
5) Re-login the Camera homepage to check and make sure the DDNS Status and UPnP
Status is Succeed.

6) You only need to enter the domain name(domain name+Port number

http://reotest1.dyndns.org:8999) in the IE address bar ,the browser will visit the IP
Camera.Wait for several minutes and the IP Camera will dial up to access the Internet
automatically, and the communication with the DDNS server is established successfully.
In the way, the user can access the IP Camera from a WAN by using the DDNS domain
name.
If the gateway settings and DDNS settings have been completed,ener the DDNS
dynamic domain name(for example, (http://reotest1.dyndns.org:8999),do not add www.)
in the address bar of the IE to access the IP Camera.If multiple IP Cameras are
connected to the same router,enter DDNS dynamic domain + port number(for example,
http://reotest1.dyndns.org:90)) in the address bar of the IE to access different IP
Cameras.

5.1 Frequently Asked Questions
Note:
1) Any question you would meet, please check Network connections firstly.
2) Check the working status revealed by the indicators on the network server, hub,
exchange and network card. If abnormal, check the network connections.
5.1.1 I have forgotten the administrator username and/or password.
To reset the administrator username and password, Press and hold down the RESET
BUTTON for 5 seconds. Release the power button and the username and password
will be reset back to the factory default administrator username and password.
Default administrator username: admin
Default administrator password: No password
5.1.2 IP Address configuration
Check whether IP address of the IP Camera server shares the same subnet as your
work station: Click My Computer > Control Panel>Network & Dial-up Connections >
LAN > Attributes >Internet Protocols (TCP/IP), and check IP Address and Subnet
Mask. Make sure they are in the same subnet when configuring IP Camera IP
address manually.Unable to access IP Camera via web browser
5.1.3 Network Configuration
Double Check to ensure that your HTTP server software is configured and running
properly. If youre running any firewall software, make sure its allowing inbound
connections to port 80,Also, if you happen to be using a cable/DSL router, make sure
youve set up port forwarding properly. ( consult your routers documentation for more
information ) .If none of these seem to be the problem, its also possible that your
ISP is blocking inbound connections to port 80 many IPSs have done this because
of internet worms such as Code Red, If this is the case, you ll have to setup your
HTTP server on an alternate port (such as 8080).

5.1.4 No pictures Problems with ActiveX Controller

The video streaming is transmitted by the ActiveX controller. If ActiveX controller isnt
installed correctly ,you will see no video image. There are two way to solve this problem:
1 Install IP Camera Tool, ActiveX controller is installed simultaneity
recommendable.
2download ActiveX controller and set the safety property of IE in the PC when you
view it first time:IE browserToolInternet ProperSecurityCustom
LevelActiveX control and Plug-ins three options of front should be set to be Enable,

5.1.5 Problems with network bandwidth

The image frame rate is subjected to the following factors: 1.network bandwidth; 2. PC
performance,network environment and display preference setting (brightness, theme,
etc.); 3. the number of visitors (Too many visitors will slow down the image frame rate.); 4.
choice of switch or hub (Use a switch for multiple IP Camera Servers rather than a HUB.).

5.1.6 For example: Register procedure from a DDNS web

1.Users use DDNS management system first time.Users need to apply account
to manage and inquire the domain state.

5.1.8 Cant access the IPCAM in the internet?

There are some reasons:
1 ActiveX controller is not installed correctly(see more details:5.1.4).
2 The port IPCAM used is blocked by Firewall or Anti-virus software. Please change a
port number and try again.
3 Port mapping is not success. You can do port mapping by two ways:
Enter setting page of the router which IPCAM connect with to enable UPnP function.
Enter IPCAM UPnP Settings to enable UPnP and make sure the state is UPnP
success.
If your router has the Virtual Map function. Enter router setting page, add IPCAMs IP
and port to the Virtual map list.
When use ADSL, the IP is dynamic. You should set DDNS(see more details 3.5.4 & 5.1.6)
and also make sure port mapping success.

5.2 Operate common problem solving

IP camera tool cant find the camera?
Except of the camera broken
1. Make sure the cable connector no problem, recommend connector
(AMP),it is with international standard. Another note, IPCAMs data
transmission channel require higher than computers, so maybe the
computer can run normally but IPCAM cant, Please press heavily when

60 / 66
 IPCAM User Manual

making the cable connector.

2. Confirm the power supply normally. First, check whether power indication
light turn on or not, If it is on,then check the yellow light on RJ45 Port
(power indication light) and green light (network indication light) are on or
not.If they are on,so power supply and cable runs normally.
3. Confirm all the firwall and antivirus software are close.The firewall often
block unrecognized data so if the firewall is running ,so maybe the IPCAM
TOOL cant find the device.Suggest to close firewall and antivirus
software temporarily before searching.
How to solve the camera blank screen?
1. Check if you are using the wrong power adaptor.please use original
one.
2. Close antivirus software.
How to solve the camera cant login by Internet?
1. Check if you set DDNS success or not?
2. Check the current IPCAMs port number is the same as routers?They
need to keep same.
Cant view the monitoring picture
1. Reason: cant connect with network
Solution:Check if the network connect well, exclude cable fault and PC virus
cause network fault until can be used between PC and PING.
2. Reason:IP address occupy by other device
Solution: Choose automatic gain
3. Reason: IP address located within different subnet
Solution: Check IPCAMS ip address and subnet mask address and gateway
settings.
Reason:Web port has been modified
Solution:contact network administrator to obtain port information.
4. Reason:unknown
Solution:Press reset button to factory default state,then reconnecting.systen
default to gain ip address automatic,subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
