2.2.1 Static IPAddresses
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

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
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. (See Figure 2.11 for further details)
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.
2.2.2 Dynamic IPAddresses
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 2.8 and 2.9.
Figure 2.8
Select which camera
you’d like to change the
port for, and right click

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!
Figure 2.10
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 2.11
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 test09.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.
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

Figure 2.12
Now you can use “http://Domain name + HTTP Port” to access the camera via the Internet.
Take hostname test09.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
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,auser 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.
