SET UP INFORMATION



Each device on your network has a unique address, called an IP Address. These addresses allow the devices to talk to the network. Your PC has an IP Address, your router has one, and your camera will have one. Each address must be unique. They can look like this: 192.168.0.13. It is possible that your IP address uses different numbers than what is shown. That’s okay. Just keep notes on the page provided.

First, we’re going to get the address of your network. Just look, don’t make any changes.

On your Windows PC, go to START. Then CONTROL PANEL.

Click on VIEW NETWORK STATUS.

INFO : YOUR IP ADDRESS



Your screen may look a little different, depending on your network setup and your version of Windows.

Click on your CONNECTION. This will bring up information about your connection.




Now, click on DETAILS. This is where we’ll get the information we need.




You can see your PC’s IP address. In this case, 192.168.0.13. The first 3 numbers are the same for all your devices on your network. Remember: your numbers may be different from what is shown in the examples. Use YOUR numbers.

Your Router is called the “Default Gateway.” Copy this address into Slot 3 on your sheet.Copy the IPv4 Subnet Mask into Slot 4.

A DNS server is needed for your PC and other devices to talk to the internet. Your camera will need 1 DNS address. Copy the first DNS address into Slot 5.

When you are done, you can hit the RED X on these Windows to make them go away.

POWER CONNECTOR

WIFI ANTENNA CONNECTOR

ETHERNET CONNECTION

Attach the WIFI antenna to the connector and screw on securely.

CONNECTING THE CAMERA



Plug the ethernet cable into the port on the camera.




Plug the the other end of the ethernet cable into a free port on your Router.

Note: your Router may look different from the example shown.

Ports are usually called LAN 1, LAN 2, and so on.




Now plug in your power adapter.

Please allow 30 seconds for your camera to start. It will move around during the start up process.

During this time, your camera will try to find a free IP address on your network.




You are now going to use the software you downloaded from our site. This is called IP Camera Tool.

IP Camera Tool will do one thing - it will locate your camera on your network and let you access it for the first time.

Double-click IP Camera Tool and let it run. It may take a minute, but it should locate your camera on your network.

Your camera will appear as ANONYMOUS and it will have a new IP Address that will look similar to other Addresses on your network. The last set of numbers will be unique to the camera.

Remember, the numbers shown here are only examples. Your network could look quite different.

When your camera appears in IP Camera Tool, double-click it.

Your web browser should open and a login screen should appear.

Note: Your camera works best with Internet Explorer. While it will work with other browsers, only Internet Explorer will show you ALL the options for your camera.

IP CAMERA SOFTWARE

The location on your network the cam-era found. This location may change if you do not make it permanant, as noted later in this manual.



Your login screen should appear in Internet Explorer or your main browser.Enter the name “admin” in the User area. All lower case.Click Sign In.

LOG IN



Internet Explorer uses software called ACTIVE X to run some of the features of your camera. You should ALLOW ActiveX to run if you want all the features.

After you ALLOW, you will need to LOGIN again.

INTERNET EXPLORER



Your camera should now be working using the initial settings.

We’re going to make some quick changes to the settings. First, let’s change the resolution of the camera to a higher setting.

THE MAIN INTERFACE



Click and choose 640x480.

SET RESOLUTION



Now change the MODE of your camera to suit your needs. In the US, this is usually 60 HZ, or Outdoor.

Now, click on FOR ADMINISTRATOR, on the bottom right of the screen.

CAMERA MODE



On the right-hand side, there are several options for different features. We’re going to cover the basics in this manual.

Let’s name your camera. Click on ALIAS SETTINGS.

CAMERA SETTINGS



Enter a name for your camera, such as MyCamera. Click SUBMIT.

Now, click on DATE AND TIME.

NAME YOUR CAMERA



Choose the correct time zone.

Your camera can automatically sync the proper time with the United States time servers.

CHECK the box for SYNC to activate time sync. Leave the server set to TIME.NIST.GOV.

Click SUBMIT.

You may also choose to set the time based on your PC time. Either will work.

Before the next step, make a note of the IP Address that is appearing in your browser. In this example, it’s 192.168.0.19. Your camera’s address will be different.

Write this down in slot 6 of your info sheet.

Click on BASIC NETWORK SETTINGS.

Make a note of your camera’s Address. In this example, it’s192.168.0.19. Your address will be different.

SET THE TIME



Your camera has been working on a temporary IP address. We will now make this address permanant. Your camera needs a permanant address for it to work properly over the internet.Please make the following changes carefully.

1. UNCHECK the setting “Obtain IP from DHCP Server.”2. UP Add: this is the address you want for your camera. In general, the current setting should

be okay and you can leave this alone. The number you choose should be on your info sheet.3. Compare the subnet number to that on your info sheet. They should match.4. Gateway: this is your router. Compare to your number on your info sheet. They should

match.5. DNS server. This should also match the number on your info sheet. If necessary, change this

number to match that on your info sheet.6. HTTP PORT: This number is usually 80, but can be different. Please note down the number

that is shown here on your info sheet in slot 7. 7. Hit SUBMIT to make your changes.8. Your camera will REBOOT. Please wait for it to complete before going further.

UNCHECK!Step 2Step 3Step 4Step 5

A PERMANANT IP ADDRESS

Step 6



If necessary, log back into your camera using the address you wrote down as your camera IP address. You will do this using your browser, such as Internet Explorer.

Click on DDNS Service Settings.Pull down the DDNS Service list and choose NONE.

SUBMIT and your camera will REBOOT.

Congratulations! Your camera is now working connected by wire to your router.

The next steps will turn your camera wireless!

TURN OFF DDNS



If your camera is working fine while connected by wire, you’re ready to make your camera wireless.

You will need to know a few things about your WIFI network before trying to add your camera to the network.

You should know and put on your info sheet the following:

8: Your WIFI Network Name.Your network name can be almost anything. Network names can be seen by anyone. You should never use the default network name that came with your router. Make something unique. Remember, your network name will be public.

9: Your WIFI Security Type.There are a few different standardard for WIFI security. The settings on the camera must match the settings on your router exactly. An “open” or unsecure WIFI network is not safe for you and the devices on your network. You should be running the best security possible for your router and the devices on your network. Please refer to your Router manual for the settings available to you.

10: Your WIFI Password.Your password should be complicated, a mix of numbers and letters. You’ll want to write down your password on your info sheet.

Network security is important to keep your network, devices and data safe.

Some suggestions:

• Do not use Default names and passwords. These are not secure.• Do not share your WIFI network. Use WIFI security settings, the strongest possible for your

network and devices.• Your WIFI network name IS public.• Keep notes. You will not be able to remember all the settings and passwords.• Get help! If you are not sure about your network, ask someone.

SafetyBasement can not provide technical support for your router and network as there are many different systems and setups. This manual provides basic guidelines and information.

GOING WIRELESS



In this step, we’re going to tell your camera to find your WIFI network and enter your security information so it will connect. This will set up your camera to work INSIDE your network. Access via the Internet and Apps will be a later step.

On the right-hand side, click on WIRELESS LAN SETTINGS.

Now, click on SCAN to find the WIFI network in range of the camera. A list will appear. It could be just your network, or a long list depending on how many neighbors have WIFI.

Wait for the scan to complete. If nothing appears after two minutes, press SCAN again.

In this example, our network is the second one down, OFFICE. The list shows the security that our WIFI network is using, called WPA / WPA2.

FYI: WPA is more secure than WEP.

Network Security Settings are set by your Router. Refer to your Router Manual for instructions on your Network Security and available settings.

WIRELESS INSIDE NETWORK



CHECK the box USING WIRELESS LAN.Click on your Network from the list.Enter your SHARE KEY, which is the password for your network. Click SUBMIT.

Your camera will now REBOOT.DISCONNECT the ethernet cable from your camera during the reboot process.

In about 30 seconds, your camera will reappear in your browser. You are now wireless!

If your camera does not appear, try entering your camera IP address in your browser and reconnecting.

If you camera does not appear:

1. Disconnect the power to your camera.2. Reconnect the Ethernet cable.3. Connect the power.4. Log in to your camera and review all your WIRELESS LAN SETTINGS using the previous

steps. Remember, your Network security settings and password must match exactly.

WIRELESS



The IP Address you have been using so far will only work INSIDE your network. You will not be able to use this IP Address from another location - it won’t work.

In order to connect to your camera via the Internet and Apps, we will do the following steps:

1. Determine your Internet IP Address.2. Tell your Router to allow access your camera. This is called “Port Forwarding.”

WHAT IS MY INTERNET ADDRESS?

Just like your personal network, every device on the Internet has an address. These are called IP Addresses. This number will look very different from your home network. But it’s very easy to find out what it is.

In your browser, go to www.IPCHICKEN.com. This is a well-known and useful site that does one thing - it tells you what you internet address is.

Write this down in slot 11 of your info sheet. This is the address you will use to reach your camera on the internet. However - it probably won’t work yet - there is still a few settings to add to your Router for it to work.

Your IP address is probably NOT permanent and may change from time to time. This is normal.In the future, if your camera is suddenly not reachable, check IPChicken.com from home to see if your IP Address has changed. If so, just use the new address and you’ll be back to normal.

ACCESS BY INTERNET



Your router needs to know where your camera is. It will send your request from the internet to the camera via a “Port.” The Router will “Forward” your request to the camera via this “Port.” That is why it’s called “Port Forwarding.”

Earlier in our setup, we saw our HTTP PORT and put it in slot 7 of our info sheet. In this example, it’s Port 80. This is the Port that our Router will use to talk to our camera.

Note: Port 80 is commonly used as a default port. If you have another device on your network that is using Port 80, you will need to choose a unique port for your camera, such as Port 81 or 8080.

When you log into your Router, you may see a list of current Ports being used. Just be sure that Port 80 is available before using it.

TELL YOUR ROUTER WHERE THE CAMERA IS



The following instructions are guidelines. Your router will look different from the examples shown. Please refer to your Router manual for further instructions regarding Port Forwarding.

You will need a NAME and PASSWORD to access your Router. This is not the same password for your Network. This is a NAME and PASSWORD for the router device itself.

If you have a Router from your Internet Service Provider, you may need to call your ISP to get the name and password for these next steps. Just tell them you need access to set up Port Forwarding.

In your browser, enter the IP Address of your Router. This is on slot 3 of your info sheet. In our example, our Router address is 192.168.0.1Your router will ask for a name and password.

NOTE: If you are using the Default name and/or password that came with the router, please plan on changing it in the future to make your network more secure.

GENERAL ROUTER INSTRUCTIONS

PROCEED CAREFULLY! Changing the wrong settings on your Router may disconnect you from the internet. Please refer to the manual for your Router for assistance.



Our sample router has a section called PORT FORWARDING, and this is what the screen looks like. We do not yet have any Port Forwarding set up.We will add PORT 80 for our camera.

PORT FORWARDING



Your setup may vary!1. We named our Port “MyCamera.”2. Start and Ending Port are 80.3. Protocol is set to BOTH. You may need to enter a port for TCP and UDP, depending on

your router. Just choose your port for each Protocol, in our example 80.4. Local IP Address. This is the address of your camera. In our example, our camera is at

192.168.0.239.5. Click ADD or SUBMIT.6. Some routers will reboot at this time. Please wait a minute before proceeding.

PORT FORWARDING



Close any browsers you may have open.Start Internet Explorer.In the area where you normally enter a WWW address, you will enter your Internet IP Adress, which you have on slot 11 of your info sheet. This is the address you found from IPChicken.com.Be sure to enter it this way:http://123.456.78.9:80

That is http://Followed by your IP AddressFollowed by your Port. :80

If successful, you will see your normal camera login screen. This should also work from another location, such as your work computer.

Also, this will work on the browser in many smartphones, including an iPhone, without installing a special App.

To test via your smartphone, be sure you are NOT connected to your local WIFI network.

TEST INTERNET ACCESS TO YOUR CAMERA



So far, you’ve been using the default ADMIN name for your camera. Now that your camera is working, it’s time to change the login name and password.Log in to your camera, and go to USERS SETTINGS.

Add a password for Admin.You may also add other User Names and Passwords with different Group settings.Only an Administrator can make these changes. Be sure to write down your Admin name and Password on your info sheet.

Click SUBMIT and start using your new Admin Name and Password when logging in.

USERS / SECURE YOUR CAMERA



There are many different apps available for your smartphone. We are going to use an app called “ReeCam” for the iPhone in the following example.
