www.foscam.us www.foscam.us Security Warning Safeguarding Your Privacy Foscam cameras require good security practices to safeguard your privacy. You can help protect your camera by changing the default username and/or password. Input a username and/or password that is at least 8 – 10 characters or longer. Try to use a combination of lower-case and upper-case letters as well as numbers and special characters. The more complex the username and password, the harder it will be to guess by an unauthorized user.
www.foscam.us www.foscam.us Please note to change your default username and password once you have initially logged into your Foscam camera. Changing your default user settings enables better protection against any types of attacks against your camera. 1.1 Key Features Standard H.264 video compression algorithm to satisfy the transmission of high definition video in narrow bandwidth network P2P feature for easy access 1.

(1) Http:// LAN IP + Http Port NO.
www.foscam.us www.foscam.us Go to Settings - Network - Port panel , you can see and change the https port NO. Figure 2.2 HTTPS(Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer) is a safe way to access your camera, the data transferred on the Internet will be encrypted. Since we can not apply license for every LAN or DDNS URL, the webpage may pop up a warning like the following picture, you just need to click “Continue to this website (not recommended).” Figure 2.
www.foscam.us www.foscam.us Figure 2.
www.foscam.us www.foscam.us Figure 2.5 Click View Certificates, and go to Servers option. Figure 2.
www.foscam.us www.foscam.us Go to Add Exception panel. Enter the camera’s url , here take https://192.168.8.129:443 for example Click this button to add it Figure 2.7 2.2 Access the Camera in WAN 2.2.1 Static IP Addresses Users who have static IP addresses do not need to set DDNS service settings for remote access. When you have finished connecting the camera using the LAN IP address and port forwarding, you can access the camera directly from the Internet using the WAN IP address and port number.
www.foscam.us www.foscam.us Figure 2.8 Access your IP Camera from the 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 Note Make sure port forwarding is successful. You can do port forwarding two ways. 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.
www.foscam.us www.foscam.us http://192.168.1.110:88, this means that the camera’s HTTP port is 88. You can change port 88 to another port if you’d like such as 2000 or 8090, which will not be conflict with other existing ports like 25, 21,10000.Here you can set the port no. between 1 and 65535. Change the default http no.88 to another one. How to assign a different HTTP Port No.
www.foscam.us www.foscam.us password), 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://192.168.1.110:2000 in IP Camera Tool. Also, the LAN IP address is now fixed at a static IP address of http://192.168.1.110:2000. This IP address will not change even if the camera is powered off and back on, the camera will remain on this LAN IP address.
www.foscam.us www.foscam.us 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 enter “100” for our example. Assign a name for the port forward setting here Figure 2.12 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.
www.foscam.us www.foscam.us Step 1 Step 2 Please go to the third party DDNS website(such as www.no-ip.com) to create a free hostname. DO DDNS Service Settings within the Camera Please set DDNS Settings within 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.
www.foscam.us www.foscam.us Here I can enter one of the following URLs in the 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.
