monitored area by sending email notifications upon detecting movements
with an attached screenshot of the scene.
View it Anytime, Anywhere you are. Anywhere you are, any time you want, as
long as you have an active 4G/3G/WiFi wireless connection on your wireless
device (E.g. smartphones, tablets, laptops), controlling the WIPC409HD-E’s
view and area-viewing is now made possible.
Easy 3-Step Setup. Aztech WIPC409HD-E involves a simplified 3-step when it

Connection Instructions
Before visiting the IP Camera, you must first connect it to the Network. Plug it to
a power outlet, and check if the light of the LAN port is normal to make sure all
of the communication links are functioning properly. The connection method
can be seen on the previous page. In addition, ensure that the following items
below are satisfied:
1. IP Camera-1 and IP Camera-2 are connected separately to 2 different
LANs.
2. And these 2 LANs are already connected to the Internet. In order to get the
LANs connected to the Internet, ensure that the router used in the network
has an active internet connection.
3. PC-3 is connected to the Internet.
Visiting the IP Camera
To visit the IP Camera, you must first configure some of your IP Camera’s IP
settings.
1. The PC and IP Camera are in the same LAN. If you want to use this PC to visit
the IP Camera, you need to make sure that each device’s IP address
belongs to the same segment. Otherwise you may have to reset the IP
Camera’s IP address.
For example, if the IP Camera-1’s IP address in the image above is
192.168.1.139 (at the segment of 192.168.1.x), while the PC-1’s IP address is
192.168.0.175 (at the segment of 192.168.0.x), you will not be able to visit the
IP Camera through PC-1. You must first change the IP Camera-1’s IP address
to 192.168.0.139 (or any IP address within the 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.254
except 192.168.0.175).
2. The PC and IP Camera are in different LANs, but they are all connected to
Internet. For the IP Camera-1 and PC-2, if you want to visit IP Camera-1
through PC-2, you must first ensure the following:
Ensure that you can visit IP Camera-1 through PC-1 and then do port
forwarding of the IP Camera on Router-1.
The PC-2’s visit application could be sent through router-1 to IP
Camera-1. Normally, PC-2 could only send the information to router-1.
However, if you do not configure the port forwarding settings of the IP
Camera-1 on router-1, PC-2 would not be able to visit IP Camera-1.

Visit IP Camera from WAN
Port Forwarding
Ensure PC-1 can visit IP Camera-1. Before the computers in WAN (PC-2, PC-3)
can visit IP Camera-1, you must first put the IP Camera -1 into WAN. You can set
Port Forwarding on Router-1 to put IP Camera-1 into WAN.
1. Open the Router Setting interface on PC-1. The interfaces for different routers
are different, and the Port Forwarding settings are different.
NOTE : You may have to refer to your router’s user manual to finish this part.
2. For most routers, the Port Forwarding option can be found under Setting /
Firewall Interface. Fill in the IP address and Port of IP Camera-1 into the
corresponding blank.
3. Select Status option and remember the WAN IP address.
4. Enter the IP address in the browser of PC-1. If IP Camera-1 can be visited via
PC-1, the port forwarding is successful. PC-2 and PC-3 should now also be
able to access IP Camera-1.
Additional Notes:
The WAN IP address is allocated by your ISP. Ensure that it is an available WAN
IP address. Since the WAN IP address may lack, many WAN IP address are
available within a limited area. If PC-2 and PC-3 are not in this area, these
devices would not be able to access the IP camera.
If a User wants to put several IP Cameras into WAN, every device should have
Port Forwarding set. In order to distinguish these devices, each device should
be assigned on a different port. If the port of the device is not 8081, you
would have to add the port to the IP address separated by a colon (:)
whenever you will be accessing the IP Camera (E.g. http://202.96.82.177:81)

User Manual
DDNS
As explained earlier, Router-1 will get the WAN IP address via ADSL. The WAN IP
address constantly changes, which is why the IP address cannot be confirmed.
In instances such as this, the Dynamic Domain Name Server (DDNS) would be of
great use. IP Camera-1 will update its IP configuration to the DDNS at regular intervals.
The DDNS would then recognize the WAN IP address of the Router-1 which is
connected to IP Camera-1.
The WAN IP address can be searched on DDNS by its domain name (E.g.
Aztechcamera1.com). The domain name will serve as the substitute of the dynamic
IP address. If the device cannot be visited through its IP address, the domain name
would also be unavailable.
Manufacturer’s Domain Name
Device manufacturer has established a DDNS and allotted a dynamic domain
name to every device. The domain name has been integrated into devices
during production. For example, if you enter the domain name seen below, your
web browser will connect the device and display the IP address.

18
User Manual
Additional Notes :
The domain name is made possible through port forwarding. The domain
name will change into the IP address and port number of the device when
visited through its domain name.
If the device can be visited by IP address but can’t be visited by
manufacturer’s domain name, please check the DNS info if it is available or
not and make sure that the DNS setting is the same with the DNS setting of PC
in LAN.
Third Party Domain Name
You may also use other third party DDNS, such as www.3322.org. You may apply
for a free domain name from this website. All you have to do is to correctly enter
the information required, and the domain name can now be used.
The domain name will be displayed in the web browser whenever you are visiting
the IP Camera. However, if the port is not 80, the port number should be added
after the domain name and colon. Example: http://ipcam.3322.org:81

Resolution. Use 1280 X 720 Resolution, Bit Rate is 2048 kbps and Frame
Rate is up to 20 fps. The higher the resolution or quality of the picture, the
higher bit rate requirement and bandwidth consumption will be. A high
bit rate allows the generation of higher image qualities.
NOTE: In setting the frame rate, bandwidth must be taken into
consideration. With a low bandwidth, a high frame rate would result into
uneven results. With limited bandwidths, it is suggested to set the frame
rate to 15fps. High bandwidth limits can set the frame rates to its highest
setting.
