4.3.4 DDNS
FOSCAM camera has embedded a unique DDNS domain name when producing, and you can directly use the domain name, you can also use the third party domain name.
FOSCAM domain name
Here take test09.myfoscam.org for example. Go to option of DDNS on the Settings->Network panel, you can see the domain name.
Now you can use http:// Domain name + HTTP Port to access the camera via internet. Take hostname test09.myfoscam.org and HTTP Port NO. 800 for example, the accessing link of the camera via internet would be http:// test09.myfoscam.org:800 Restore DDNS to factory: If you have configured Third Party DDNS successfully, but you want to use Manufacturer’s DDNS again , here click this button and start Manufacturer’s DDNS Service.
Third Party Domain Name Settings
User can also use third part DDNS, such as www.no-ip.com. ,www. 3322.com
Here take www.no-ip.com for example:
① Step 1, Go to the website www.no-ip.com to create a free hostname

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.

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 Do port forwarding within the router Example: The camera’s LAN IP address is http://192.168.8.100:2000 , Media port no. is 9200. Firstly, login the router, goes to the menu of Port Forwarding or Port Trigger (or named Virtue Server on some brands of router). Take Linksys brand router as an example, Login the router, and goes
to Applications & Gaming->Single Port Forwarding. Secondly, Create a new column by LAN IP address & HTTP Port No. of the camera within the router showed
as below.
③ Use domain name to access the camera via internet
After the port forwarding is finished, you can use the domain name+ http no. to access the camera via internet. Take hostname ycxgwp.no-ip.info and http no. 2000 for example, the accessing link of the camera via internet would be http:// ycxgwp.no-ip.info:2000
Assign a name as you like here.
Fill the Media Port no. of the camera on the column of External Port and Internal Port.

4.3.5 UPnP
The default UPnP status is closed. You can enable UPnP, then the camera’s software will be configured for port forwarding. Back to the “Device Status” panel, you can see the UPnP status:
The camera’s software will be configured for port forwarding. There may be issues with your routers security settings, and sometimes may error. We recommend you configure port forwarding manually on your router.
4.3.6 Port
This camera supports HTTP Port. HTTP Port is used to access the camera remotely. If you want to access the camera and view the video, the HTTP Port must both be configured correctly.
HTTP port: By default, the HTTP port is set to 88. Also, they can be assigned with another port number between 1 and 65535. But make sure they can not be conflict with other existing ports like 25, 21.
Another way to change the HTTP port NO.
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 following figures.
Step 2: Enter the username and password of the Administrator (default username is admin with a blank
password), and click “OK” to apply changes.
Step 3: 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!
Select which camera
you’d like to change the
port for, and right click.
Modify the Http Port.
Enter the Username and
password, click OK.

Stream type: There are four types to identify different streams you have set.
Resolution: The camera supports three types: 720P, 960P, VGA. The higher the resolution is, the clearer
video will become. But the code flux will become larger too, and it will take up more bandwidth.
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 can not play well.
Frame rate: Note that a larger frame size takes up more bandwidth. 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.
Key Frame Interval: The time between last key frame and next key frame. The shorter the duration, the more likely you will get a better video quality, but at the cost of higher network bandwidth consumption.
Variable bitrate: Select the Bit rate type to constant or variable.
