2. INSTALLATION AND SETTINGS
System Requirement:
Operating System: Windows 2000 / XP / Vista / 7
Network Protocol: TCP/IP
Network Structure: Applies to all network connections 10/100M LAN platform
Browser: Internet Explorer 6.0 or above. Firefox, Google, Safari, or Chrome.
2.1. Network Connection
Intranet and Extranet Connection Reference:
Extranet means public IP (i.e. The Internet), Intranet means private IP. If your IP belongs to the following range, then
it’s a private IP:
Category A: 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
Category B: 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
Category C: 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
Intranet Connection: The IP camera and your computer (device) should be under the same network environment, and
both of the IPs should be under the same subnet, pictured as below:
IP camera
Ethernet
Extranet Connection: there are 2 ways as below:
(1). IP camera connects to the Internet via a router, here camera’s IP is a private IP, client needs to connect to the IP
camera through a router, with port forwarding to be connected correctly, as below:
Internet
IP camera router
Ethernet
(2). IP camera connects to the Internet directly, if it’s a fixed IP provided by your ISP, just input it. If it’s a floating IP,
then input the account and password provided by your ISP to dial-up connection.

2.2. Browser Settings (For IE only)
OCX will be downloaded automatically when you login to the IP Camera, but you might have to set the IE browser to
enable the OCX to be downloaded automatically after signing in. Steps as below:
1. Close the firewall of your computer.
2. Change the ActiveX settings, “IE” browser > “Tool” > “Internet Options” > “Security”> “Custom Level” >
“ActiveX control and Plug-ins”, all the ActiveX options set to be “Enable”:

live video, please close your firewall or anti-virus software, and try again.
2.3. UPnP Service
UPnP could help you to find your camera’s IP more quickly. For Window XP, from “Control Panel” > “Add or
remove applications” > “Add or remove Windows component” > “Network service” > “Detailed data” > “UPnP
users interface”, the factory default settings is disabled. Enable it, and then it can allow your operating system to

9. Fail to use DDNS
Possible Reason 1: The PC or IP Camera can’t connect to the internet.
45
Solution: Check the internet connection and settings.
Possible Reason 2: Port forward is not set in router.
Solution: Set the port forward of extranet in router correctly.
For example, if IP Camera address is: 192.168.1.100, Media port is 38401, Web port is 85, factory DDNS is
http://test.aipcam.com.
Set Port forwarding in the router.
This is an important step. You need to set port forwarding in your router, to refer to the IP of your camera correctly, for
DDNS to work. There are so many kinds of routers, so it’s difficult to show fixed steps, but here are some samples of
different router’s port forwarding settings, just for reference:
TP-LINK:
1. Login to the router.
2. Choose “Forwarding”, select “Virtual Servers”
3. Click the Add New button, pop-up below:
Figure 13.1
Fill in the service port (don’t use 80), IP address of the camera, then click Save
NOTE: The port and IP address should be the same as the camera.
Fill in the web port, for example port 85, IP address as 192.168.1.100, click Save.
(1) Repeat step 3 above, it will pop-up the window again, fill in the media port as 25001, IP address as
192.168.1.100, then save.
(2) Then check the “Device Info” –“DDNS Status”,
It will show DDNS: http://test.aipcam.com:85 , input this link in IE, then you can visit this camera remotely.
