•฀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 - Integrated Wireless IP Camera
51
2. Enter DDNS Settings Page to enable the DDNS
service, and click ‘Submit’ to reboot the camera.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Re-log in to the Camera homepage to check and
make sure the DDNS Status and UPnP Status
have been successfully configured.
6. 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.
Another way the user can access the IP camera
from a WAN is by using the DDNS domain name.
Nexxt Solutions - Integrated Wireless IP Camera
52
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
technology enables you to view real-time videos
and change configuration settings over the internet
using any supported browser (Google Browser or
FireFox). Using other web browsers, you may have
limited functionality, for instance when viewing or
streaming live video.
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:
1. Go to mobile internet browser
2. Enter http://the external IP address of your IP
Nexxt Solutions - Integrated Wireless IP Camera

footage captured by the camera.
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 connec-
tions on the network have been done correctly.
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
station: Click My Computer > Control Panel > Net-
work & Dial-up Connections > LAN > Attributes >
Internet Protocols (TCP/IP). 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).
If none of these seem to be the problem, it is also
possible that your ISP is blocking inbound
connections 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:
Nexxt Solutions - Integrated Wireless IP Camera
55
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 >
Security > 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
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
Firewall 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
successful.
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.
Problems with using the Firefox browser -
monitoring pages are not displayed normally
