Operation Steps:
1) Click “Search (F3)
2) Choose the device
3) Change the IP address of the camera according to the information in the red frame
on the left. The numbers in the red circles should not match, as your iBaby monitor

user name "admin" and password "123456").
5) Click “Update”
6) Click “Search (F3)”, choose the device, and then click “Browse (F4)”. You will be
able to view the camera, as shown in Figure 6.

4 Accessing the iBaby monitor over the Internet
4.1 Internet connection
Figure 10
4.2 Port forwarding
Most current routers have UPnP, or Universal Plug and Play. The default within the
iBaby monitor is for UPnP to be on, meaning that the software takes care of port
forwarding automatically. To configure a port manually, you must first connect to it over
your LAN.
Please consult your router’s User Manual for port forwarding configuration information.
Once port-forwarding is configured, your iBaby Monitor should be accessible over the
Web.
4.3 DDNS
DDNS stands for Dynamic Domain Name Service. Think of it as a URL assigned to your
specific iBaby monitor that allows you to view the monitor from any computer connected
to the Web.
4.3.1 Manufacturer’s DDNS
The device manufacturer has provided a free DDNS. You can find it in the Network menu,
as shown in Figure 11, and on a sticker at the base of the unit.

Figure 11
4.3.2 Third Party DDNS
You can also use a DDNS supplied by a third party. To do so, obtain the DDNS and fill it
in as shown in Figure 12.
Figure 12
Note: If your third-party DDNS does not use Port 80, you need to specify the port when entering
in the DDNS. Do this by appending a colon and then the port number following the entry for the
DDNS. The manufacturer DDNS is not needed to add PORT.

5 Other Settings
5.1 Network Settings
5.1.1 Basic Network Settings
Figure 13 shows how to set up the Basic Network Settings to have an IP address
assigned to your iBaby monitor automatically.
Figure 13
5.1.2 Wi-Fi Setting
If your iBaby monitor is going to be set up over Wi-Fi, use the configuration menu shown
in Figure 14. First, click the “Scan” button to see the available networks. Highlight the
one you wish to use, then check “Using Wireless Lan." Then fill in the SSID, encryption
method and share key or password; you can get this information from your router. Click
“Set” when finished.
Figure 14
Note 1: When the device is connected to both a Wi-Fi and wired network, it will first try to
connect to the wired network. If that connection fails, it will switch to Wi-Fi. The IP
address and port is the same in either case.
Note 2: The iBaby monitor needs to be connected by cable to your router before the
wireless settings described above can be put in place. Once the Wi-Fi settings
have been saved, you can remove the cable, and the wireless connection will
begin operating.

iBaby Monitor User Manual

5.1.3 ADSL Settings
Users with ADSL Dialup should configure their device as shown in Figure 15. The user
name and password should be obtained directly from your ADSL service provider.
Once the settings are saved, connect the iBaby monitor directly to the ADSL modem,
and it will be connected to the Internet.
Figure 15
5.1.4 UPnP Setting
If you enable UPnP by checking its box as shown in Figure 16, the iBaby monitor, upon
power-up, will communicate with the router and handle port-forwarding automatically.
Figure 16
Before using UPnP, please make sure your router’s UPnP function has been enabled.
Note that since not all UPnP implementations are the same, and you may discover that
your router doesn't properly support the iBaby monitor. Should this occur, disable UPnP
and assign port-forwarding manually.

5.1.5 DDNS Settings
Please refer Section 4.3.
5.1.6 MSN Settings
Figure 17
iBaby monitor users with an MSN email account can fill in this section if they wish. Fill in User
and Password with respective settings from MSN. Then, fill in any email address to receive
iBaby monitor alerts.
5.2 Alarm Settings
5.2.1 Alarm Settings
1）Motion Detection
The alert on your iBaby monitor can be triggered if motion is detected. The sensitivity of
the motion detector needs to be set, using a number between 1 and 10, with 10 being the
most sensitive.
Users have the option of connecting an external alert to their device with the Alarm
Output Socket shown in Figure 2. Once this external alert is connected, users should
check the “Alarm Input Armed” box. If the external alert detector is "always on" switch
alarm, use the "open” option. If the external alert detector is "always off," choose “close”.
The iBaby monitor alert can also be triggered when sounds are detected. Set the
sensitivity of the device; the higher the number, the more sensitive to noise it will be.

2）Alarm Actions
Several things can happen when an alert is triggered, depending on whether the box for
that action is checked, as shown in Figure 18.
#IO Linkage on Alarm: This triggers whatever external alarm might be plugged
into the iBaby Monitor.
#Send Mail on Alarm. Send an email notification to the supplied email address.
#Upload Image to FTP. This sends still pictures from the camera via FTP. Users
can control the interval at which pictures are sent.
#Enable Alarm Server.
3）Scheduler
Your iBaby monitor can also be set to automatically trigger an alert action at a scheduled
time, including "All the time”. Figure 19 shows how to set up this feature.

5.2.2 Email Service Settings
The iBaby monitor can send an alert to an email address if it is configured as shown in
Figure 20. Be sure to click Save, and then test the system to see if the address is
working properly. Note that after every restart, the device will send its IP address to the
specified email address.

5.2.3 FTP Service Settings
Figure 21
When the alarm is triggered, the iBaby monitor can be configured to snap a picture and
send the image to FTP server. Set up the server information as shown in Figure 21. Click
“Test” to see if the system is configured properly.
The “Upload Image Periodically” setting, if checked, will send an image to the FTP server
periodically, even when no alert has been triggered.
