49
Page 50
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
Obtain the IP address of the router (LAN Gateway
1.
address), User Name and Password for logging
into the router.
Enter the LAN IP address of the router
2.
(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
3.
address of the router. In this example, the address
is 116.25.51.115.
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 function. To do so, open the IP camera “Upnp Settings”
50
Page 51
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.
51

service, and click ‘Submit’ to reboot the camera.
Re-log in to the Camera web browser as
3.
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
4.
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
5.
make sure the DDNS Status and UPnP Status
have been successfully configured.
You only need to enter the domain name (Domain
6.
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.
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.

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.
53
Page 54
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 station: 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).
54
Page 55
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 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:
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
55
Page 56
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 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.
