Static IP address users

Static IP address users do not need to use DDNS

for remote access. When the settings of the IP

camera in LAN mode are complete, you can access

the Camera directly through the Internet using the

WAN IP.

Two methods are available to obtain the WAN IP

address.

Nexxt Solutions - Outdoor Wireless IP Camera

1: Obtain the WAN IP from a Website

You can discover this easily by turning 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.

2: Obtain the WAN IP address from the router

Accessing the IP Camera over the Internet

Users can access the IP Camera from the Internet.

Enter the WAN IP address and port number into the

browser. For example, http://116.25.51.115:85.

Note: Make sure Port mapping is successful. Port

mapping can be conﬁgured in two ways:

•฀Enter฀the฀setting฀page฀of฀the฀router฀which฀the฀IP฀

camera connects with to enable the UPNP func-

tion. To do so, open the IP camera “Upnp Settings”

Obtain the IP address of the router (LAN Gateway

address), User Name and Password for logging

into the router.

Enter the LAN IP address of the router

(ie:192.168.1.1) in the address bar of your PC

browser 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.

Nexxt Solutions - Outdoor Wireless IP Camera

dialog box, and make sure the status for “Upnp is

successful”.

•฀If฀your฀router฀has฀the฀Virtual฀Map฀function,฀enter฀

the router settings page, add the IP camera’s IP

address and port number to the Virtual map list.

How to use DDNS

When using ADSL, the IP Camera will connect to

the Internet through ADSL automatically. For each

ADSL reconnection, your Internet Service Provider

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 using the DDNS via

the domain name to ﬁnd your network.

1. Go to the website that provides free domain

names, such as http://www.dyndns.com. Register

to apply for a free domain name.

Nexxt Solutions - Outdoor Wireless IP Camera

Another way the user can access the IP camera

from a WAN is by using the DDNS domain name.

If the gateway settings and DDNS settings have

been completed, enter the DDNS dynamic domain

name (for example,http://ipcam.vicp.net, do not

add www.) in the address bar of IE to access the IP

Camera. If multiple IP Cameras are connected to

the same router, enter DDNS dynamic domain with

the port number (for example, http://ipcam.vicp.

net: 85) in the address bar of IE to access different

IP cameras.

Accessing the IP Camera from your mobile phone

Compatibility with mobile phones using 3G

Enter DDNS Settings Page to enable the DDNS

service, and click ‘Submit’ to reboot the camera.

Re-log in to the Camera web browser as

Administrator and enter the “DDNS Service

Settings” page to check if the DDNS Status has

been successfully changed to DynDNS.

Enter the ‘UPnP Settings’ page, the UPnP Status

should be ‘Successful UPnP Session’. If not, you

may enter the “Basic Network Settings” page to

change the Http Port. Then click “SUBMIT” and

reboot device.

Re-log in to the Camera homepage to check and

make sure the DDNS Status and UPnP Status

have been successfully conﬁgured.

You only need to enter the domain name (Domain

name+Port number http://ipcam.domain.net:81)

in the IE address bar, and the browser will visit the

IP Camera. Wait for several minutes and the IP

Camera will access the Internet automatically.

Nexxt Solutions - Outdoor Wireless IP Camera

technology (iPhone, Android, Blackberry, and PDAs)

enables you to view real-time videos and change

conﬁguration settings over the internet using any

supported browser.

An IP camera can send a snapshot picture to an

email account accessible via a cell phone. Cell phone

surveillance also allows the user to adjust camera

settings and video resolution for a mobile feed where

video could then be accessible on a cell phone. There

are applications that allow for advanced PT control

at your ﬁngertips, access to multiple cameras from

different locations and even remote video playback.

Follow the steps below to gain access to the IP

Camera from your mobile phone:

Frequently Asked Questions

Note: Please check network connections ﬁrst to

troubleshoot any potential problems. Check if any LED

on the network, server, hub, exchange or network

card is showing signs of malfunction. In case of

abnormal operation, verify that all connections on the

network have been done correctly.

Go to mobile internet browser

Enter http://the external IP address of your

IP Camera: port number.

Demo example: http://y-cam.dtns.net:8152.

This will bring up the authentication window to

enter your user security settings.

Next, a window with 2 different options will pop up.

Select the best option based on the web browser

supported by your particular phone.

Click on ‘Live Video’ to see real time video footage

captured by the camera.

Nexxt Solutions - Outdoor Wireless IP Camera

In addition, you can see the list of problems below,

as it contains the solution to the most common

problems encountered while setting up the camera:

What do I do if I have forgotten the administrator

User Name and/or password?

To reset the administrator User Name and

password, press and hold down the RESET button

for 5 seconds. Release the power button and the

User Name and password will be reset back to their

factory default conﬁguration.

Default administrator User Name: admin

Default administrator password: no password

IP Address conﬁguration

Check whether the IP address of the IP Camera

server shares the same subnet as your work sta-

tion: Click My Computer > Control Panel > Network

& Dial-up Connections > LAN > Attributes >Internet

Protocols (TCP/IP), and check the IP Address and

Subnet Mask. Make sure they are in the same

subnet when conﬁguring the camera’s IP address

manually if you are unable to access IP Camera via a

web browser.

Network Conﬁguration

Double check to ensure that your HTTP server

software is conﬁgured and running properly. If you

are running any ﬁrewall software, make sure it is

allowing inbound connections to port 80. Also, if you

happen to be using a cable/DSL router, verify that

you have set up the port forwarding feature

properly (consult your router’s documentation for

more information).

Nexxt Solutions - Outdoor Wireless IP Camera

If none of these seem to be the problem, it is also

possible that your ISP is blocking inbound connec-

tions to port 80 - many ISPs have done this because

of internet worms, such as Code Red. If this is the

case, you will have to setup your HTTP server on an

alternate port (such as 8080).

Picture Problems

Video streaming is transmitted by the ActiveX

controller. If the ActiveX controller is not installed

correctly, no video image will be seen.

There are two ways to solve this problem:

1. Install the ‘IP Camera Tool’. ActiveX controller will

be installed simultaneously (recommended).

2. Download ActiveX controller and set the Security

Properties of IE on the PC when you view it for the

ﬁrst time: Go to Tools > Internet Properties > Secu-

rity > Custom Level > ActiveX control and Plug-ins.

All 3 options need to be set to ‘Enable’.

- Enable: Download unsigned ActiveX controls.

- Enable: Initialize and script ActiveX controls not

marked as safe.

- Enable: Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins.

Problems with network bandwidth

The image frame rate depends on 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

Nexxt Solutions - Outdoor Wireless IP Camera

down the image frame rate).

4. Choice of switch or hub (use a switch for multiple

IP cameras rather than a hub).

Pop up appears saying ‘Fail to connect to the

device’

This prompt will only appear when using multiple

cameras. Enter the Multi-Device Settings page (log

in as an Administrator) to check whether the Device

settings are correct.

When one of the multiple cameras disconnects,

the icon changes color to yellow and the pop-up

prompt “Failed to connect to the device” is

displayed.

Can’t access the IP camera on the internet?

There could be a number of reasons:

1. ActiveX controller is not installed correctly.

2. The port IP camera being used is blocked by Fire-

wall or an anti-virus software. Use a different port

number and try again.

3. Port mapping failed. There are two ways available

for conﬁguring port mapping:

Open the setting page of the router which the IP

camera connects with to allow the UPNP function.

Go to the IP camera’s ‘UPnP Settings’ to enable

UPnP, making sure the ‘UPnP’ conﬁguration is suc-

cessful.

If your router has the Virtual Map function, enter

the router setting page, and add the IP camera’s IP

address and port number to the Virtual map list.
