4.4 Network
This section will allow you to configure your camera’s IP, DDNS, Wireless Settings, UPnP and Port.
4.4.1 IP Configuration
If you want to set a static IP for the camera, please go to IP Configuration page. Keep the camera in the same subnet of your router or computer.
Changing settings here is the same as using the IP Camera Tool.
It is recommended that you use the subnet mask, gateway and DNS server from your locally attached
PC. If you don’t know the subnet mask, gateway and DNS server, you can check your computer’s local area connection as follows:
Control Panel →Network Connections →Local Area Connections →Choose Support →Details

Set the same Subnet Mask and gateway of the camera with your
PC.
There are two DNS servers. You can set any of them. Same with gateway is also OK.
If you don’t know the DNS server, you can use the same settings as the Default Gateway.
4.4.2 Wireless Settings
Step 1: Choose “Settings” on the top of the camera interface, and go to the “Network” panel on the left side of the screen, then click “Wireless Settings.”

Step 3: Please click on the Save button after all settings have been entered and disconnect the network cable. Never shut down the power of the camera until the IP camera is able to connect to the wireless network.
The LAN IP address will disappear on the window of IP Camera Tool when the camera is configuring a wireless connection. Wait about 1 minute, the camera should obtain a wireless connection, and the LAN
IP of the camera will show again on the window of the IP Camera Tool. The IP address may have changed after the camera receives a wireless connection; we recommend setting a static local IP address if this IP address changes by right clicking the camera in IP Camera Tools, setting a static IP, and pushing OK.
Congratulations! You have set up the wireless connection of the camera successfully.
NOTE :
If you fail to make a wireless connection, please refer to your seller or contact us directly for assistance.
4.4.3 Soft AP Password Settings
For the safety of your camera, we recommend you change the Soft AP password.
4.4.4 DDNS
FOSCAM camera has embedded a unique DDNS domain name when producing, and you can directly use the domain name, you can also use the third party domain name.
FOSCAM domain name
Here take test09.myfoscam.org for example. Go to option of DDNS on the Settings->Network panel, you can see the domain name.
Foscam Digital Technologies
Telephone: 1-800-930-0949 41
www .foscam.
us
Now you can use http:// Domain name + HTTP Port to access the camera via internet.
Take hostname test09.myfoscam.org and HTTP Port no. 800 for example, the accessing link of the camera via internet would be http:// test09.myfoscam.org:800
Restore DDNS to factory: If you have configured Third Party DDNS successfully, but you want to use
Manufacturer’s DDNS again , here click this button and start Manufacturer’s DDNS Service.
User can also use third part DDNS, such as www.no-ip.com. ,www. 3322.com
4.4.5 UPnP
The default UPnP status is closed. You can enable UPnP, then the camera’s software will be configured for port forwarding. Back to the “Device Status” panel, you can see the UPnP status:
Foscam Digital Technologies
Telephone: 1-800-930-0949 42
www .foscam.
us
The camera’s software will be configured for port forwarding. There may be issues with your routers security settings, and sometimes may error. We recommend you configure port forwarding manually on your router.
4.4.6 Port
This camera supports HTTP Port. HTTP Port is used to access the camera remotely. If you want to access the camera and view the video, the HTTP Port must both be configured correctly.
HTTP port: By default, the HTTP is set to 88. Also, they can be assigned with another port number between 1 and 65535. But make sure they can not be conflict with other existing ports like 25, 21.
ONVIF port:
By default, the ONVIF port is set to 888. Also, they can be assigned with another port number between 1 and 65535(except 0 and 65534). But make sure they can not be conflict with other existing ports.
HTTPS port: The default port is 443. You can use the url to access the camera: https:// IP + HTTPS
port.
RTSP port: The default port is 554. Only some IP Cameras have RTSP port.
Another way to change the HTTP port NO.
Step 1: Open the IP Camera Tool, select the camera you would like to change the port of, right click on
Foscam Digital Technologies
Telephone: 1-800-930-0949 43
www .foscam.
us
the IP address, and click on ”Network Configuration”, this brings up the network configuration box as flowing figures.
Step 2: Enter the username and password of the Administrator (default username is admin with a blank 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://192.168.8.102:2000 in IP Camera Tool. Also, the LAN
IP address is now fixed at a static IP address of http://192.168.8.102:2000. 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.
This is very important that a static LAN IP address is set, or you may have problems later with remote access and seeing the camera remotely if the camera loses power and reconnects on a different LAN IP address. Make sure you set a static LAN IP address!

Enhanced Night video Definition: The camera will automatically drop the frame to extend the recording time in the night.
Foscam Digital Technologies
Telephone: 1-800-930-0949 48
www .foscam.
us
Stream Type: There are four types to identify different streams you have set. If select the HD Mode, the clearer video will become, and it will take up more bandwidth; If select the Smooth Mode, the bandwidth is very narrow, and bit rate is large, that will lead to video can not play well. The Equilibrium Model is a value between HD Mode and Smooth Mode.
Resolution: The camera supports multiple types, For example: 960P, 720P, VGA. The higher the resolution is the clearer video will become. But the code flux will become larger too, and it will take up more bandwidth. (The maximum frame rate for each model is different, please see the
“
Specifications”. )
Bit Rate: Generally speaking, the larger the bit rate is, the clearer video will become. But the bit rate configuration should combine well with the network bandwidth. When the bandwidth is very narrow, and bit rate is large, that will lead to video can not play well.
Frame rate: You should lower frame rate when the bandwidth is limited. Normally, when the frame rate above 15, you can achieve fluently video.
Key Frame Interval: The time between last key frame and next key frame. The shorter the duration, the more likely you will get a better video quality, but at the cost of higher network bandwidth consumption.
Variable bitrate: Select the Bit rate type to constant or variable. If select Yes, the camera will change the video bit rate according to the situation, but will not more than the maximum parameter "Bit Rate"; If select No, the Bit
Rate is unchanged.
4.5.2 On Screen Display
This page is used to add timestamp and device name on the video.

NOTE: Make sure that your firewall or anti-virus software does not block the camera or ActiveX. If you could not see video, please shut down firewall or anti-virus software to try again.
6.1.7 Can’t access IP camera in internet
There are some reasons:
1、ActiveX controller is not installed correctly
2、The port which camera used is blocked by Firewall or Anti-virus software. Please change another port number and try again.
3、Port forwarding is not successful
Check these settings and make sure they are correct.
6.1.8 UPnP always failed
UPnP only contains port forwarding in our recent software. Sometimes, it may be failed to do port forwarding automatically because of firewall or anti-virus software. It also has much relation with router’s security settings. So we recommend you do port forwarding manually. You can view your camera in internet successfully after you do port forwarding manually in your router.
6.1.9 Camera can not connect wireless
If your camera could not connect wireless after you set wireless settings and plug out the cable. Please check whether your settings are correct or not.
Normally, camera can’t connect wireless mainly because of wrong settings.
Make sure broadcast your SSID; use the same encryption for router and camera.
6.1.10 Can’t see other cameras listed in multi-device when using remote access
If you want to view all the cameras via the WAN, verify that each camera added in the multi-device settings can be accessed by using the DDNS name and port number. Use the DDNS domain name not the camera’s LAN IP. (For more details see: How to add cameras in WAN)
