Can't access IP

An IP camera is a video camera that can be viewed over a Local Area Network or the Internet. The camera typically is monitored locally from a computer via the network to which the camera is attached. With just a few additional configurations of your network, you can access the IP Network Camera so that it can be monitored remotely using the Internet. This is the benefit of a network camera, as it can reside on an IP network and the video stream can be accessed or saved remotely.

Get the Default Gateway of your IP. Do this by entering "ipconfig/all" in your Command Prompt and hitting "Enter" on your keyboard. Your IP information will be brought up, and number you are looking for is the Default Gateway. This is underneath the IP address. Identify this number by its number pattern, which will look like the following: 111.222.3.4. Access your router. This is done by simply typing the default gateway from Step 1 above into the address bar of your Internet browser, and pressing "Enter." Forward your port by configuring your camera. Open the configuration section on the router web page where port forwarding is located by clicking on the "Applications & Gaming" link along the top of the page. In this menu, click on "Port Range Forwarding." Configuration sections can be located differently with each kind of router. Find this information by referring to the documentation that came with your router when you purchased it. Access your camera over the Internet. To do this, type your public IP address into the address bar of the web browser and press "Enter" in the same way as described in Step 2 when entering your default gateway. Note: The public IP address is different from your regular IP address. The regular IP address identifies computers and other devices on your network, whereas your public IP address is what is used to make yourself known to others on the Internet. Your Internet service provider can supply you with your public IP address if you call them and ask for it.

depend on what brand and type of the ip camera that you use.

in order to be able to access from internet:
- you need to use a router that connect to a switch and the camera
- the router must have UPnP Feature & Port forwarding.
- just in case your public ip address is dynamic, you will also need a ddns for redirection.

The basic concept is, you have to configure the network setting of the camera according to the router as a gateway.
usually, in the network setting, you will find a http port number.
change this number from default ( 80 ) to another number from 0 to 65535 ( example 50010 or 40000 , you can choose freely, it's recommended to use port above 50000 )

then find the portforwarding function in your router, then set the port number to the ip address of the ip camera.

if it's successfull, you can directly access the camera from the internet by entering your public ip address and the port number on your browser.

for example : http://itcomm-streets.viewnetcam.com:50001 << my ip camera demo unit.

If your cameras are connected to the router wireless or wired they should have an IP address. This is a unique number assigned by the router. If you have a utility software to access your cameras with a direct connection to your computer you may use that to get the IP address. If there is none either your camera is using the default IP address which you can get from the manual and enter on your browser or get it from the DHCP client list found on the router when you access it at 192.168.1.1 using your browser. At the client list you should see the computers that are currently connected and the camera.

Accessing the computers from the outside of your network or away from home, may be done once you have access it within your home. Otherwise you may need to open up ports on the router.

1. Please make sure if both the camera and computer is connected to your router's LAN port
2. Open the IPSetup Software which came on the CD along with the product
3. It will detect the camera's current IP address. You can change it to an IP address based on your network
4. The double click on that IP address or type it on IE's address bar. Camera's Live view will be shown up
5. Then you can match the wireless setting with your wireless router to view the camera wireless without being connected by a Ethernet cable
   

1. connected the camera in the ethernet port of the belkin router
2. know the ip address of the ip camera
3. access the camera from the computer by using typing in the ip address of the camera for example 192.168.2.x

let me give you few suggestions and then you can take it from there.

firstly IP camera is just what its name says..it needs a fixed IP address it may be local as in your lan where it is working or a IP address from ISP.
Now when you connect it behind router... it is essentially a camera connected to LAN.
now the problem is DYNDNS.com will give access to your router since that is connected to dynamic IP addressing. However Ip camera is behind router and to access it you need to open proper protocol and port in router .consult your router manual for doing that.

with your current setup that is the only solution. however you can connect Ip camera directly to ISP line and then use dyndns as in case of router. though i dont know how feasible that will be for you.you have not mentioned IP camera model so cant help with specific details.

To create new Camera Window

• Click New Camera from the File menu.

• Camera Setting dialog box appears.

Camera Setting dialog box

Camera Setting dialog box helps you control selected video source. To open the Camera Settings dialog box, select Camera Settings from the File menu.

Set a preview rate in the Preview Frame Rate box. It indicates the number of frames per second in the camera window. The default value is 10 frames per second. This value doesn't interfere with broadcast or record frame rate.


Remote Cameras
Remote camera is another Active WebCam program with enabled Remote Access launched on remote computer. Both programs use UDP protocol to communicate each other. If connection with Remote camera goes through firewall, make sure that the IP address of your computer, local and remote ports are opened on the firewall, and the UDP protocol is enabled.

To connect to Remote Camera
In the Device tab click to select Remote Camera.

Specify the computer address in the IP address box. Don't place the protocol prefix (like http://) in the address, just four digits of IP address delimited by dots, like: 192.168.1.101. You can find out the remote computer IP address by clicking Get Computer IP Address from the Tools menu on the remote computer.

Type port, which is opened on remote computer for remote access in the Remote Port box. This value is specified in the Port box in the Broadcasting | Remote Access properties on the remote computer.

Specify port, which will be used to receive data from remote camera, in the Local Port box. If your network uses firewall, make sure that Local Port and computer's IP address are opened in the firewall. Use the Check the Port Availability button to make sure that this port is not used by another program.

If the remote computer requires authorization, enter user name and password in the appropriate boxes. The authorization could be set in the Broadcasting tab in the Camera Settings window in the Remote Access Additional Settings window on the remote computer.
If the Remember Password check box is checked, the user name and password will be saved among the session parameters.

Cycle through cameras
If you have multiple cameras you can set up a cycler to have the program to change cameras automatically.

To configure the Camera Cycler:

• Click Camera Settings from the File menu.

• Select Cycle through cameras to activate cycler.

• Type cycler interval in seconds.

Select cameras to cycle.

you have to log into the main IP address, not the camera IP address. If you are using wireless, the camera will have an IP address different than the one for the router coming from the ISP.
I just bought this camera myself and am trying to work out the kinks. My ip keeps changing and i am not sure how to keep it the same, static?

Hello,
There are a couple things to check. Make certain that you have port forwarding enabled for port 80/80 to the IP address of the camera. Make certain that you have port forward for port 8080/0 to the IP address of the camera. Find your IP address for your Internet connection - you can go to ipchicken.com and it will display your IP address for you. Then open your browser, type in your Internet IP address on the address line and hit enter. That should bring up the guest log in window and you can log in to view the video stream. If you want to log in to the camera console to change configurations, just type the camera user name and password instead of the guest user name and log in.
Hope this helps!
