2. SOFTWARE OPERATION
2.1 IP Camera Tool
When the Device has been mounted properly, you can double click the Icon “IP Camera Tool”
and a dialog box as Figure 1.8 will pop up.
Figure1.8
Note: The software searches IP Servers automatically over LAN.
There are 3 cases:
1. No IP Cameras found within LAN. After about 1 minute search, the Result Field will show “not found IP
Server” and the program shut automatically.
2. IP Cameras have been installed within LAN. All the IP Cameras will be listed and the total number is
displayed in the result field as shown in Figure 1.8
3. The IP Cameras installed within LAN do not share the same subnet with the monitoring PC. A prompt as
shown in result field (prompt: Subnet doesn’t match, double click to change!). Click the left mouse button to
choose the prompt and click the right mouse, choose Network Configuration to set the static IP address of
the Camera to the same subnet as LAN. (Figure 2.2)

![](/img.php?id=1659751&img=bg8.png)
MoreSecurity,MoreConvenience
NOTE: If it shows” Subnet doesn’t match, double click to change!”, you can also choose ”Obtain IP from
DHCP Server” to get a dynamic IP. (Figure 2.1)
2.1.1 Six Options
Choose the IP Camera list and Click right mouse, there are six options: (Figure 1.9)
Basic Properties, Network Configuration, Upgrade Firmware,
Refresh Camera List, Flush Arp Buffer, About IP Camera Tool.
Figure1.9
2.1.1 .1 Basic Properties
There are some device information in the Basic Properties, such as Device ID, System Firmware Version,
Web UI Version.(Figure 2.0)
The Device ID just is the camera’s MAC ID, which should be the same as showed on the sticker at the bottom
of camera. Every camera has its unique MAC ID. So if there are many IP address showed in the list, check the
MAC ID, you can ensure which camera is it.
Sometimes, if there is no IP address showed on the IP Camera tool, maybe it’s blocked by firewall, then add
the MAC ID to the router, and give it a fixed IP or add the MAC ID as a trusted site. There are two MAC
Address, one is Device MAC ID, the other is WIFI MAC ID.
WIFI MAC ID, you can find it from the sticker at the bottom of the camera, if this sticker lost, you can login your
WIFI router, check the host status, which will show all the WIFI device connect to this router, you can also find
the IPCAM’s WIFI MAC ID there.

To reset the administrator username and password, press and hold down the RESET BUTTON for 15 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
4.1.2 Subnet doesn’t match, dbclick to change
If IP Camera Tool shows error information “Subnet doesn’t match, dbclick to change!” Please choose Obtain
IP from DHCP server. (Figure 2.2)
If it still show this error after obtain IP from DHCP server. Please check local area connection of your computer,
change subnet, gateway of the camera. Keep them in the same subnet of your computer. (Figure 2.3)

4.1.3 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
Camera’s IP address manually.
4.1.4 Can’t access IP camera in internet
There are some reasons:
1 ActiveX controller is not installed correctly (see more details: Figure2.9~Figure3.1).
2 The port which camera used is blocked by Firewall or Anti-virus software. Please change another port
number and try again. (Figure3.2)
3 Port forwarding is not successful (see more details: Figure7.4~Figure7.9)
Double check these settings and make sure they are correct.
4.1.5 IP Camera Tool could not find camera’s IP
Please check if the camera works well. Check if network cable is loose or not.
Make sure DHCP is enabled in your router, don’t enable MAC address filter.
Make sure that firewall or anti-virus software does not block the camera. You can add the camera as a trusted
site in your firewall or anti-virus software.
4.1.6 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.
4.1.7 Couldn’t find the shortcut on desktop after install IP camera tool
If you use Windows7 or Vista, You could not find the shortcut on desktop after install the IP camera tool,
please check if the path of the tool port to is correct or not.
For example, as it was pointing to C:\Windows\System32\IPCamera.exe.
Please fix this by pointing the shortcut to the correct path C:\Windows\SysWOW64\IPCamera.exe. After this
you could use the shortcut without any problems.
4.1.8 I can’t change the record path
When you use Windows7 or Vista, you may be not able to change the record path for the security settings of
computer.
1. Please add the camera as a trusted site to solve this issue.
The step is: “IE browser→Tool→Internet Proper→Security→Trusted sites→Sites→Add”.
2. You can also run the IE as administrator; input the IP address of the camera manually.
4.1.9 I can’t find multi-device settings and record icon
Record and multi-device function are controlled by activeX controller.
So if you use Safari, Firefox, Google chrome, it is impossible to use these functions.

4.1.10 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. (Details: Wireless LAN settings)
Normally, camera can’t connect wireless mainly because of wrong settings.
Double check the SSID, Encryption share key, Channel, should be the same as your wireless router.
Share key should not contain special characters, only word and number will be better.
Don’t enable MAC address filter.
4.1.11 I can’t see other cameras which in multi-device when remote access
If you want to view all the cameras in WAN. Make sure that each camera you add in multi-device settings can
be login use DDNS name and port number. Use DDNS domain name to fill in the host checkbox, not camera’s
LAN IP. Double check your settings. (Details: Set Multi-Device for WAN)
4.1.12 Only see black screen or unreasonable code when remote login
If you could access the login page in remote place, it indicates that your DDNS settings are correct. You could
not see living video but only some undefined characters, it may be the internet speed problems, especially the
camera work on Wi-Fi.
4.1.13 No pictures Problems with ActiveX Controller
If use IE browser to connect the camera for the 1st time, maybe there is no image displayed, and there will be a
clue to install the ActiveX. You can do some settings to enable the ActiveX. (Details: For IE Browser)
4.1.14 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)
4.1.15 How to register an account from DDNS web
You can enter http://www.dyndns.com/ and register an account, more details please check the Quick
Installation Guide
4.1.16 Why pop-up the prompt” Fail to connect to the device…”?
This prompt only appeared in the case of using multiple cameras.
