For a remote view via internet connection, do I need a fixed IP Address? Do I need to use somebody's or manufacture's server?

so far I have only used the zmodo phone app, which works well. there are 2 apps, one for when you are on your home network. one for when you are not. my understanding is there is a way to "port forward" so you can view your cameras on any computer but my attempts to do that so far have failed. They weren't much of an attempt though. Ill probably try again later. There are some youtube videos of how to do it.

I didn't set it up yet but according to their instructions look like you log onto their server and login using a name you've created sorry not much help

The way it works is both routers must have a different LAN IP. You could have 192.168.1.1 for one, and 192.168.2.1 for the other. Once the VPN connection is made, you can access the remote network devices by entering the static IP address of the device. As far as I know you cannot have the same IP at both locations.

No, it does not need to be hooked up to a computer. It works through your router and ip address. At home you would view it through a local ip address. Remotely you need to setup a dns page that will link to your dynamic ip. I use Dtdns. With router permissions most of it can be setup through the cameras admin page.

These cameras support DHCP/Fixed IP as well as Dynamic DNS if your location does not have a fixed IP. Each camera has it's own address and stream. There are several phone apps which will allow you to view them together.

If your internet is down but your in-home network is still up. you can still see it if you use your local IP address (198.161.xxx.xxx or 10.x.x.x). If you have no internet you won't be able to watch from outside the home. I use the ipad app, so my settings are set for remote IP. When out ip is down, I just enter my local IP in a web browser to view from another room.

Don't know about that but you might want to try contacting support on wansview website, also there are some utilities available for download there. http://wansview.net/tools-support.html One thing though, I was able to set it up without using the installation disc. What you want to do is first connect the camera to your router via lan cable, then in your router admin site find out the IP the camera was assigned and then access the camera using that IP. I hope this helps.

I just read the book and set up my three camera with individual fixed IP addresses and individual ports, I.E. 192.168.1.20 on port 1025, 192.168.1.21 on port 1026 and 192.168.1.22 on port 1027. To reach each camera via the internet, you just have to type your IP address followed by :1025 or :1026 or :1027 (no spaces between the last digit of the IP address and the colon) Each device must have it's own individual IP address, irregardless of being wired or wireless. To reach a camera while you are on the home network just type the IP address and port number into any browser, i.e. 192.168.1.20:1025. To reach a camera from anywhere on the internet type in your ISP given IP address and add :1025 or :1026 or :1027 to view each individual camera. For the examples I used the internal IP address format of 192.168.1.XX. My internet provider's router always uses the format 192.168.1.XXX. Some ISP's use 192.168.0.XXX, so you should check the IP of any device connected to your home network to see what the IP address format is. As far as I know, these cameras are IP based devices. The have a built in web server and the only connections they support are web browsers or/and FTP. FTP is when the camera constantly uploads video to another computer via FTP (file transfer Protocol). The computer must be running FTP server software. Any Windows computer can run FTP client software. I am not a video guru, but there might be DVR recorders out there that can use ethernet connections and accept FTP, but that is out of my field. Hope this helps.

I set it up on my router as a static IP address then went through the web interface. should work in any newer web browser.

Why do you want to link by IP address? That's normally not a good idea for any reason.

Connect it to wired router/switch and http to its ip address to configure it. Should be 192.168.0.1 or something.

It doesnt have to be incredibly fast. You could probably watch it over dial up (since the video resolution is on the lower end). To watch video remotely over the internet, you just need to make sure your ports are forwarding properly and you will likely want a static IP address.

It can be viewed from anywhere with Internet access. All you need is that IP address of the router that the camera is connected to, and the port associated with the camera (e.g. 8090)

These devices are connected to a local computer, which does not need access to the Internet. However, if you want to use "remote veiwing," which I'm sure you will, then the computer to which they are connected needs Internet access.

Hi, Arfat. A fixed IP address is needed for TCP/IP communication, please noted.

If you want to access your camera through internet remotely,IP forwarding in your router is a must. After setting, you'll no longer need to access your router in a remote location. We give Linksys for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kp-R-eHiQco&feature=related

If your controller will log onto your network then yes you can access it thru your browser. You just have to access it's IP address.
