opened via UPnP or manually.
For example: DDNS Host name account: http://yourname.dtdns.com Port: 8150
So with the above information, your camera would have the address of: http://yourname.dtdns.com:8150
Open any internet browser on your computer, and type your own DDNS account name, followed by :8150 (that’s
a colon, followed by 8150). After a few moments, your Camera Homepage should be displayed. You can then login
to view your camera or change your settings as normal.
To confirm your own external camera address, stay within the Settings menu, and click on “System” at the top
right of the screen. This will list various settings of your camera. Under UPNP Port Forwarding, it should list your
cameras hostname and port.
Note: Only 1 single camera per network needs the DDNS setup. This enables access to the entire network.
Important Notes
1) If you try to access your own camera(s) from your home using the external IP address it may not work. Some
internet service providers recognize that you are trying to do something that usually doesn’t make sense. Their
routers may block requests that go from your network out to the internet and then loop back to your own
network.
Therefore we always recommend that you get in touch with a friend to help you test the remote access to your
camera from outside your own network. Or you can use an iPhone in 3G mode (Wi-Fi turned off)
2)
Once your camera is live on the internet, you should change the admin password to something only you would know.
See the “User management” menu under “Tools” section of your camera’s “Settings” screen. Only admin can
change settings. If you add other user names they can only see video without changing anything.
If you forget your password you can always reset your camera to factory settings using the reset procedure shown at the
end of this manual.
