www.foscam.com 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 2.3 Open Internet Explorer if it is not already opened. Click on Tools, then click Internet Options.

www.foscam.com 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. How to Obtain the WAN IP address from a public website ？ To obtain your WAN IP address, enter the following URL in your browser: http://www.whatismyip.com.
www.foscam.com Note: If you plug the camera into a router, it will have a dynamic IP address and you need to set DDNS service settings to view it remotely. 2.2.2 Dynamic IP Addresses DDNS is a service that allows your IP Camera, especially when assigned with a dynamic IP address, to have a fixed host and domain name. This means that even though your WAN IP address is constantly changing, you will have a fixed hostname you can use to access your cameras at all times.
www.foscam.com Figure 2.10 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.
www.foscam.com Let’s say the camera’s LAN IP address is http://192.168.8.100:2000 Step 1: Login to the router, and go to your router’s port forwarding or port triggering menu. Sometimes this is also under the name of Virtual Server or NAT. Using the Linksys brand router as an example, we would log into the router, and go to the Applications & Gaming menu. We would then click on the “Single Port Forwarding” sub-menu.
www.foscam.com Figure 2.13 Now you can use “http://Domain name + HTTP Port” to access the camera via the Internet. Take hostname test09.myfoscam.org and HTTP Port of 2000 for example, the URL link to access the camera via the Internet would be http:// test09.myfoscam.org:2000. Second method : Use the Third party DDNS to access the camera via the Internet Step 1 Please go to the third party DDNS website(such as www.no-ip.com) to create a free hostname.
www.foscam.com 2.3 Using the VLC player This camera supports RTSP streaming, here you can view the camera using VLC player. RTSP URL rtsp:// [user name][:password]@IP:HTTP port number/videosream The part in the square brackets may be omitted. user name & password: The user name and password to access the camera. This part can be omitted. IP: WAN or LAN IP address. Videostream:Here support three mode: videoMain, videoSub and audio. When the network speed is bad, here you had better select videoSub.
