Figure 2.7
Access your IP Camera fromthe 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. Youcan 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 andyou need toset
DDNS service settings to view it remotely.
2.2.2 Dynamic IP Addresses
DDNS is a service that allows your IP Camera, especially when assignedwith a dynamic IP address, to have a
fixed host and domain name. This means that even though your WAN IPaddress 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 fromthe Internet using the hostname and port number.

if you’d like such as 2000 or 8090, w hich w ill not be conflict w ith other existing ports like 25, 21,10000.Here you
canset 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?
Step 1: Open the IP Camera Tool, select thecamera youwould like to change the port of, rightclick on the IP
address, and click on ”Netw ork Configuration”, this brings up the netw ork configuration box as show n in Figure
2.8 and 2.9.

Step 2: Enter the username and password of the Administrator (default username is admin with a blank
passw ord), 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 IPaddress. 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 IPaddress. Make sure you set a static
LAN IPaddress!

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 networkfrom
anywhere in theworld. 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 fromanywhere in theworld.
Click this link to learn more about port forwarding: http://portforward.com/help/portforwarding.htm
How do we configure Port Forwarding?
For this section,wewill 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 forw arding 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 w ould then click on the “Single Port Forw arding” sub-menu.
Step 2: Create a new column using the LAN IPaddress & 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, w e can use test09.myfoscam.org. In the camera, click Settings at the top, click “Netw ork” 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 2.12
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 ente r “100” for our
example.
Assign a name for the

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 Internetwould be http:// test09.myfoscam.org:2000.
Secondmethod :
Use the Third party DDNS to access the camera via the Internet
Step 1 Please go to the third party DDNSwebsite(such as www.no-ip.com) to create afree hostname.
Step 2 DO DDNS Service Settings within the Camera
Please set DDNS Settings w ithin 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 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.
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.
2.3 Using the VLC player
This camera supports RTSPstreaming, here you can view the camera using VLCplayer.
RTSP URL rtsp:// [user name][:password]@IP:HTTP port number/videosream

The user name and password to access thecamera. This partcan 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. Ifyou 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 inthe 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 MediaOpen Network Stream option, then enter the URL into VLC.
