2 Accessing the Network Camera

This chapter explains how to access the network camera through web browsers and RTSP players.

2.1 Access the Camera in LAN

This camera support HTTP and HTTPS protocols, so here will allow you to use HTTP and HTTPS port No.

(1) Http:// LAN IP + Http Port No.

Double click the IP Camera Tool icon and it should find the camera’s IP address automatically after you plug in the network cable.

Figure 2.1

Double click the IP address of the camera; your default browser will open to the camera login page.

(2) Https:// LAN IP + Https Port no.

The default Https port no. is 443. You can use the url to access the camera: https:// LAN IP + HTTPS port. Go to Settings - Network - Port panel , you can see and change the https port no.

Figure 2.2

2.2 Access the Camera in WAN

2.2.1 Static IP Addresses

Users who have static IP addresses do not need to set DDNS service settings for remote access. When you have finished connecting the camera using the LAN IP address and port forwarding, you can access the camera directly from the Internet using the WAN IP address and port number.

How to Obtain the WAN IP address from a public website ?

To obtain your WAN IP address, enter the following URL in your browser: http://www.whatismyip.com.The webpage at this address will show you the current WAN IP.

Figure 2.3

Access your IP Camera from the Internet

You can access the IP Camera from the Internet (remote access). Enter the WAN IP address and port number in your standard browser. For example, you would enter http:// 183.37.28.254:85

NOTE :

Make sure port forwarding is successful. You can do port forwarding two ways.

1. Login to your router to enable the “UPNP” function. You can then login to the camera as administrator, choose Network, and then choose UPnP to enable UPnP. Make sure that the status of UPnP reads “UPnP Successful” on the Device Status page.

2. Do port (HTTP port) forwarding manually. If your router has a Virtual Server, it can do port forwarding. Add the camera’s LAN IP and port which you had set earlier to your router’s port forwarding settings.

NOTE: If you plug the camera into a router, it will have a dynamic IP address and you need to set DDNS

service settings to view it remotely.

Step 1: Enter the username and password of the Administrator , and click “OK” to apply changes. Step 2: Wait around 10 seconds, you’ll see that the camera’s LAN IP address has changed. In our example it

was changed to 2000, so we see http://192.168.8.102:2000 in IP Camera Tool. Also, the LAN IP address is now fixed at a static IP address of http://192.168.8.102:2000. This IP address will not change even if the camera is powered off and back on, the camera will remain on this LAN IP address. This is very important that a static LAN IP address is set, or you may have problems later with remote access and seeing the camera remotely if the camera loses power and reconnects on a different LAN IP address. Make sure you set a static LAN IP address!

2.2.2 Dynamic IP Addresses

DDNS is a service that allows your IP Camera, especially when assigned with a dynamic IP address, to have a fixed host and domain name. This means that even though your WAN IP address is constantly changing, you will have a fixed hostname you can use to access your cameras at all times. You can access the camera directly from the Internet using the hostname and port number.

What is the HTTP Port no.?

1) Default HTTP Port is 88

All cameras have the default HTTP port of 88. For example, if the LAN IP link of the camera is http://192.168.8.102:88, this means that the camera’s HTTP port is 88. You can change port 88 to another port if you’d like such as 2000 or 8090, which will not be conflict with other existing ports like 25, 21,10000.Here you can set the port no. between 1 and 65535.

2) Change the default http no.88 to another one.

How to assign a different HTTP Port No. and fixed the LAN IP of the camera by the IP Camera Tool？

Step 1: Open the IP Camera Tool, select the camera you would like to change the port of, right click on the IP

address, and click on ”Network Configuration”, this brings up the network configuration box as shown in Figure

2.4 and 2.5.

Figure 2.4

Select which camera

you’d like to change the

port for, and right click .

What is Port forwarding?

If you have never done port forwarding before, you can open and view the following link to understand the basic concept. Port forwarding allows for outside connections to access a specific device on your network from anywhere in the world. Every router automatically blocks any incoming connections for safety purposes. Using port forwarding, you are telling your router to allow a connection through a certain port (you can think of it as a gateway) into your router. You set this port to a specific device, in our case an IP Camera, so it can be accessed from anywhere in the world.

Click this link to learn more about port forwarding: http://portforward.com/help/portforwarding.htm

How do we configure Port Forwarding ?

For this section, we will be using an example:

Let’s say the camera’s LAN IP address is http://192.168.8.100:2000

Step 1: Login to the router, and go to your router’s port forwarding or port triggering menu. Sometimes this is

also under the name of Virtual Server or NAT.

Using the Linksys brand router as an example, we would log into the router, and go to the Applications

& Gaming menu. We would then click on the “Single Port Forwarding” sub-menu.

Step 2: Create a new column using the LAN IP address & HTTP Port of the camera within the router as shown

below, then push OK or Submit to save your settings:

Modify the Http Port.

Enter the Username and

password, click OK .

Figure 2.7

First method : Use the embedded DDNS to access the camera via the Internet

Each Foscam camera has an embedded unique DDNS domain name, the format of this domain name is xxxxxx.myfoscam.org. On the bottom of the camera, you can see the domain name sticker with this information on it.

For example, we can use cp4911.myfoscam.org. In the camera, click Settings at the top, click “Network” on the left, then click “DDNS” to get to the DDNS settings page. Here you can see the unique domain name of your camera.

Figure 2.8

Now you can use “http://Domain name + HTTP Port” to access the camera via the Internet. Take hostname cp4911.myfoscam.org and HTTP Port of 2000 for example, the URL link to access the camera via the Internet would be http:// test09.myfoscam.org:2000.

Second method :

Use the Third party DDNS to access the camera via the Internet

Fill the HTTP Port of the camera in the columns of External Port and Internal Port. Example: 2000

Fill in this section with the LAN IP of the camera; we would enter “100” for our example.

Assign a name for the port forward setting here .

Step 1, Please go to the third party DDNS website(such as www.no-ip.com) to create a free hostname.

Step 2, DO DDNS Service Settings within the Camera

Please set DDNS Settings within the camera by hostname, a user name and password you’ve got from

www.no-ip.com

Take hostname ycxgwp.no-ip.info, user name foscam, password foscam2012 for example.

Firstly, goes to option of DDNS Settings on the administrator panel. Secondly, select No-Ip as a server. Thirdly, fill foscam as DDNS user, fill password foscam2012 as DDNS password, fill ycxgwp.no-ip.info as

DDNS domain and server URL, Then click save to make effect. The camera will restart and to take the DDNS settings effective. Fourthly, after the restart, login the camera, and go to option of Device Status on the administrator panel, and check if the DDNS status is successful.

If failed, please double check if you have input the correct hostname, user name, and password, and

try to redo the settings.

NOTE :

If you have set Third Party DDNS successfully ,the Foscam Domain Name will be invalid. The Third Party DDNS and the Foscam Domain Name cannot work at the same time, the last time you configured will take effect.

2.3 Using the VLC player

The lowest resolution is QVGA. The bigger the resolution, the better of the image quality is. If you are

accessing the camera via internet and want to get more fluent video streaming, please select resolution VGA.

3) Maximum frame rate

When the video format is 50Hz, the maximum frame rate is 25 fps. When the video format is 60Hz, the maximum frame rate is 30 fps. You should lower frame rate when the bandwidth is limited. Normally, when the frame rate above 15, you can achieve fluently video.

4) Bit rate

Generally speaking, the larger the bit rate is, the clearer video will become. But the bit rate configuration should combine well with the network bandwidth. When the bandwidth is very narrow, and bit rate is large, that will lead to video cannot play well.

You can reset the stream type on “Settings-> Video-> Video Settings” panel.
