4.Log in your local network router and forward the port 801 (or the port you have
used in the previous step) to the camera device IP.
Default IP for wired camera device; 192.168.1.10
Default IP for wireless device; 192.168.1.11
NOTICE: Please call your internet service provider for assistance on forwarding
ports if you’re unable to complete this step.
5.For the next step you will need to know what your “External IP Address” or
domain name is. If you don’t know, please visit http://zetronix.com/ip to find
out. Note that you internet service provider will sometimes change this address
without notice.
6.From the remote computer, launch a web browser and enter your External IP
Address or domain followed by port number 801.
Ex: http://YourExternalIPAdressOrDomain:801
You also can try this locally first by entering http://192.168.1.10:801 in your
browser.
7.Login using admin as the Username and leave Password blank.

8.Select the camera on the top left of the interface.

then reopen all browser windows.
You should now see the remote video on the screen.

V. Advanced network configuration.
Some networks may not use the default 192.168.1.1 gateway address, if so the
user is required to change the zClock30W’s IP addresses to match the gateway on
the network.
1.To check what your Default gateway is, press the
“windows” key and “R” both together on your
keyboard witch will bring up the “Run” dialog.
2.On the “Run” dialog type cmd in the field then click “Ok”. This will bring up the
windows command prompt.
3.In the command prompt type ipconfig then hit “Enter”.

4.You should see a list of network configuration information, look for an item
titled “Default Gateway” and take note of the first 3 sets of numbers
(represented here as 10.1.10, yours will most likely be different)
5.Back in the CMS software, select the device address, and click on “EditDevice”
to bring up “EditDevice” dialog.

6. On the “EditDevice” dialog, change the “IP Address” and the “Gateway” to
reflect the Default Gateway number in step 4.
Make sure the first 3 sets of numbers in “IP Address” matches the first 3 sets
from Default Gateway address. Leave the last set at .10 or .11.
Say if the “IP Address” in the field shown is 192.168.2.10 and your Default
Gateway is 10.1.10.1. First change the “IP Address” to 10.1.10.10, and then
enter the Gateway address 10.1.10.1.
Click modify to update the changes, then repeat the above step for the other
device ending with “.11”
7. Wait 2 minutes for the firmware in the zClock30W to update, go back to step 7
in section “II – Setting up the LAN Camera” and repeat the IP search process. It
should find the 2 addresses with the updated changes.
NOTICE: All local IP addresses on this manual refer to 192.168.1.X for sake of
explanation. Remember to replace all instances of 192.168.1 with the first 3 sets
of digits from your Default Gateway address.
