Please do not power on the IP Camera until instructed.
Temporarily disable any proxy servers configured in internet
Explorer.
If connecting the IP Camera directly to a modem, power down
and reset the modem. Leave the modem powered down until

If your PC obtains its IP address automatically, then there is no
need to record any information.
If you have a network with other devices (such as PC/laptop, etc.)
or a router, you will NEVER select Dynamic.
Configure the IP Camera’s TCP/IP settings as you would any
other PC on your network, providing a proper IP address,
subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server.

If this is standalone unit with a direct connection to a cable/DSL/
Broadband modem then input the addresses you have received
from your ISP. If you received no IP address from your ISP, please

Access your IP Camera via the Internet :
If you use a static IP address assigned by your ISP
1) Open Internet Explorer.
2) Type the IP of the IP Camera.
3) If you use a router, type the routers’ static IP and the web port
number of the IP Camera.
If you have a dynamic address provided by your ISP
1) Open Internet Explorer and visit the DDNS website.
2) Register the IP Camera.
3) Reboot the IP Camera.
4) Give the DDNS server 10 minutes to locate your IP Camera’s
IP information.
5) Click the refresh button in the Internet Explore.
6) After your camera is connected, select your camera.

The IP Camera utilizes five TCP ports - a Web Port for utilizing
Internet Explorer, a Video Port, a Control Server Port, Audio
ports. A Web Port is for utilizing Internet Explorer, a Video
Server port is to support the streaming video, and a Control
Control Port is to transmit to control command. Also Audio
Port are to transmit and to receive Audio data. If this IP
Camera will be directly attached to a cable/DSL/Broadband
modem or has been assigned a static IP from your ISP, then
leave the default port settings.
If you are installing the IP Camera on a network, you must
define a Web Port other than 80. The other ports, a Video
Port, a Control Port, Audio Ports can remain unchanged.
If the IP Camera is connected to a network which utilizes a
router, you must have Port Forwarding configured on your
personal router to forward all ports to the IP address you
have assigned the IP Camera.
After configuring Port Forwarding on your router (if necessary),
you may then access your IP Camera on your local network
by opening Internet Explorer and specifying the IP address
and Web Server Port that you have assigned to the IP
Camera.

If you left your Web Port set to 80, then you don’t need to specify
the port in the Address Bar when accessing your IP Camera.
