2 Access the IP Camera

This chapter explains how to access the camera through browser and RTSP player.

2.1 Access the Camera in LAN

This camera supports HTTP and HTTPS protocols, you can access the camera by two ways. (1) http:// LAN IP + HTTP Port NO.

The default HTTP port no is 88. Double click the IP Camera Tool icon to run, 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 http and https port no.

Figure 2.2

HTTPS(Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer) is a safe way to access your camera, the data transferred on the Internet will be encrypted. Since we can not apply license for every LAN or DDNS URL, the webpage may pop up a warning like the following picture, you just need to click 'Continue to this website (not recommended). '

Page 19

Open Internet Explorer if it is not already opened. Click on Tools, then click Internet Options. Next, click the Security tab, then click the Trusted sites button.

Figure 2.3

For Firefox, you can add the trusted as the following way:

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.

Enter the camera’s url , here take https://192.168.8.129:443 for example .

Click this button to add it .

Page 22

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

NOTES: 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 and Media 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.

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.

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.? 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://192.168.1.110:88, 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. 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？

Page 23

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.

Figure 2.4

Figure 2.5

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://192.168.1.110:2000 in IP Camera Tool. Also, the LAN IP address is now fixed at a static IP address of http://192.168.1.110:2000. 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.

Page 24

Figure 2.6

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:

Figure 2.7

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.

Page 25

First method :

Use the embedded DDNS to access the camera via the Internet Each camera has an embedded unique DDNS domain name, the format of this domain name is xxxxxx.myipcamera.org. On the bottom of the camera, you can see the domain name sticker with this information on it.

For example, we can use test09.myipcamera.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 a33471.myipcamera.org and HTTP Port of 2000 for example, the URL link to access the camera via the Internet would be http:// a33471.myipcamera.org:2000.

Second method :

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

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 ipcamera, password ipcamera2012 for example.

Firstly, goes to option of DDNS Settings on the administrator panel. Secondly, select No-Ip as a server.

Thirdly, fill ip camera as DDNS user, fill password ipcamera2012 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.

Page 26

NOTE:

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

2.3 Using the VLC player

This camera supports RTSP streaming, here you can view the camera using VLC player.

RTSP URL rtsp:// [user name][:password]@IP:HTTP port number/videosream

The part in the square brackets may be omitted.

user name & password: The user name and password to access the camera. This part can be omitted. IP: WAN or LAN IP address. Videostream: Here support three mode: videoMain, videoSub and audio. When the network speed is bad, here

you had better select videoSub. If you select audio, you can only hear the sound but cannot see the video.

For example: IP: 192.168.1.11 HTTP Port number: 88 User name: admin

Password: 123

Here I can enter one of the following URLs in the VLC.

1) rtsp://admin:123@192.168.1.11:88/videoMain

2) rtsp:// @192.168.1.11:88/videoMain

3) rtsp://:123@192.168.1.11:88/videoMain

4) rtsp://admin@192.168.1.11:88/videoMain

Open the VLC, and go to MediaOpen Network Stream option, then enter the URL into VLC.

4.3.4 DDNS

Each 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.

Ip camera domain name

Here take a33471.myipcamera.org for example. Go to option of DDNS on the Settings->Network panel, you can see the domain name.

Figure 4.25

Now you can use http:// Domain name + HTTP Port to access the camera via internet. Take hostname a33471.myipcamera.org and HTTP Port no. 800 for example, the accessing link of the camera via internet would be http:// a33471.myipcamera.org:8000

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.

Page 56

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.

Figure 4.26

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

4.3.5 UPnP

Figure 4.27

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:

Assign a name as you like here

Fill the Media Port no. of the camera on the column of External Port and Internal Port

Page 57

Figure 4.28

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 / HTTPS Port/ ONVIF Port. HTTP Port is used to access the camera remotely. If you want to access the camera and view the video. HTTP port : By default, the HTTP and Media 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.

Figure 4.29

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 Figure

4.35 and 4.36.

Page 58

Figure 4.30

Figure 4.31

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://192.168.1.110:2000 in IP Camera Tool. Also, the LAN IP address is now fixed at a static IP address of http://192.168.1.110:2000 . 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!
