2IE Remote Access
You may connect IP-Cam via LAN (LocalArea Network) or WAN (Wide Area Network). The
details are as follows:
2.1 LAN (Local Network)
In LAN, there are two ways to access IP-Cam: 1. access through IP-Tool; 2. directly access
through IE browser.
2.1.1 Access through IP-Tool
Network connection:
①Make sure the PC and IP-Cam are connected to the LAN and the IP-Tool is installed in the
PC from the CD.
②Double click the IP-Tool icon on the desktop to run this software as shown below:
③ Modify the IP address. The default IP address of this camera is 192.168.226.201. Click
the information of the camera listed in the above table to show the network information on the
right hand. Modify the IP address and gateway of the camera and make sure its network
address is in the same local network segment as the computer’s. Please modify the IP address
of your device according to your local network configuration.

7
For example, the IP address of your computer is 192.168.1.4. So the IP address of the camera
shall be changed to 192.168.1.X. After modification, please input the password of the
administrator and click “Modify” button to modify the setting.

④Double click the IP address and then the system will pop up the IE browser to connect IP-
CAM. IE browser will auto download the Active X control. After downloading, a login
window will pop up as shown below.
Input the username and password to log in.

2.1.2 Directly Access through IE
The default network settings are as shown below:
IP address: 192.168.226.201
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.226.1
HTTP: 80
Data port: 9008
You may use the above default settings when you log in the camera for the first time. You may

8
directly connect the camera to the computer through network cable.
① Manually set the IP address of the PC. The network segment should be as the
same as the default settings of the IP camera. Open Network and Sharing Center in
Windows Control Panel. Click “Change adapter settings,” Right-click “Local Area
Connection” and choose Properties, Left-click on “Internet Protocol TCP/IP v4,” and
click the properties button.
Select “Use the following IP address” and manually enter the following information:
IP address: 192.168.226.4
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
② Open the IE browser and input the default address of IP-Cam and connect. The IE
browser will download Active X control automatically.
**IMPORTANT: You must configure IE Internet options before the Active X control will
install. Proceed to do the following in Internet Explorer:
Click on Tools (cog wheel top right corner) > Internet Options > Security > Click Custom
level > Scroll to DOWNLOAD UNSIGNED ACTIVEX CONTROLS > set it to PROMPT
> Click OK.

Port Setup
②Go to Config Network ConfigIPAddress menu to modify the IP address.
IP Setup
③ Go to the router’s management interface through IE browser to forward the IP
address and port of the camera. Login to the router by typing in the default gateway
address into the web address bar of the browser (ex. http://192.168.1.1). Navigate to
the Port forwarding, Virtual Server, Custom service, or Pinhole section in the router.

10
RouterSetup
④ Open the IE browser and input its WAN IP and http port to access. You can find
the WAN IP address under the router status page. It is also called the “Internet IP
address.”
Access through PPPoE dial-up
Network connection
You may access the camera through PPPoE auto dial-up. The setting steps are as follow:

②Go to Config Network ConfigIP Address menu. Check “PPPoE” and then input the
user name and password which you can get from your internet service provider.
③Go to Config Network ConfigDDNS Config menu. Before you configure the DDNS,
please apply for a domain name first. Please refer to 4.4.5 DDNS Configuration for detail
information.
④Open the IE browser and input the domain name and http port to access.
Access through static IP
Network connection

11
The setting steps are as follow:
①Go to ConfigNetwork ConfigPort menu to set the port number.
②Go to Config Network ConfigIP Address menu to set the IP address. Check “Use the
following IP address” and then input the static IP address and other parameters.

Mask, ROI Config and Lens Control.
4.2.1 Camera
Setting steps:
1.Go to “Video Configuration”“Camera”interface as shown below.

17
2. You may adjust frequency, brightness, contrast, hue and saturation of the picture.

4.2.2 Video Stream
Go to “Video configuration”“Video Stream”to see an interface as shown below.
Three video streams can be adjustable.
Resolution: The higher the resolution is, the clearer the image is.
Frame rate: The higher the frame rate is, the more fluency the video is. However, more
storage room will be taken up.
Bitrate type: Including CBR and VBR. CBR means that no matter how changeable the video
resources are, the compression bitrate keeps constant. This will not only facilitate the image
quality better in a constant bitrate but also help to calculate the capacity of the recording.
VBR means that the compression bitrate can be adjustable according to the change of the
video resources. This will help to optimize the network bandwidth.
Video Quality: When VBR is selected, you need to choose image quality. The higher the
image quality you choose, the more bitrate will be required.
Bitrate: Please choose it according to the actual network situation.
I Frame interval: It is recommended to use the default value. If the value is to high, the read

18
speed of the group of pictures will be slow resulting in the quality loss of the video.
Video encoding profile: Baseline and main profile are optional. Baseline profile is mainly
used in interactive application with low complexity and delay. Main profile is mainly used for
higher coding requirement.
Alarm picture size: Please select it according to the actual situation.
