The power went out for a minute and when it came back on I could not see video from my camera. After searching through my settings I discovered the problem. I had recently disabled my SSID broadcast.  To reconnect to the camera I had to update my DDNS connection. That fixed the problem immediately. I tested the scenario again by unplugging the camera myself and achieved the same results. I could not see the camera until I updated the DDNS in the router again. Then I turned the SSID broadcast back on. The camera automatically reconnected with no work on my part. I tested it a few times and every time it reconnected. Problem solved.

 

How to Make Your Wireless ezCam E-Mail Snapshots when Motion is Detected

 

_______________________________________

2) Go to Administrator > select >Alarm Service Settings:

(see illustration below)

Ok, you’ve hooked up your ezCam and now you are trying to access it from another computer within your household or at another location, such as your work, but it won’t allow you to access the video because your computers’ browser will “not accept the unsigned active X controls” download.

You can only make it as far as this:  (see illustration)

If your browser, such as VISTA IE8, will not allow you to download an “unsigned active X control”  you can choose the lower Login button to have the video images “pushed” to you, or you can follow the following method, below, to correct the security settings to your IE8 browser:

STEP 1)  Open your internet browser and select “Tools” dropdown at the top of your page. (see illustration below)

STEP 2)  Choose the “Security” Tab within the “Internet options” box. Next, click on “Custom level”. (see illustration below)

STEP 3)  Scroll down on the security options until you reach “Download unsigned ActiveX controls” and select the radio buttons as indicated within the illustration below. Click the “OK” button when finished in order to accept the changes.

STEP 4)  Close your IE Browser and reopen the IE Browser and log into your ip camera. You should now be able to accept and download the Active X controls. enter your user name and password, choose the top Login button this time!

Now you should be able to login and control your ezCam!

To view your cameras over the internet you will need to set up a DynDNS account. This is an easy process that does not take long. In short, this process gives your cameras their own web address so you can see them. All you need to do is subscribe to a free service such as DynDNS.com and follow the set up steps. *Important tip – The DynDNS.com FREE service works perfect as long as you log in at least once every 30 days. But of course that will not be a problem when you are logging in to watch your ez Network Cams everyday.*

When you  log in to the DynDNS.com website you will want to follow these simple steps.

1. Choose a name for your site
2. Choose Service Type:@host with ip address
3. Enter the ip address shown on the page
4. Create a User Name and Password
5. Check your E-mail and confirm Registration
6. Your Done!
7. Keep this information handy for setting up your router and ez Network Cams.

If you keep your electric and internet provider active while your away from your vacation home, you will be able to use your ip camera to monitor while you’re away!

You can view your ip camera from anywhere in the world – as long as you have an internet connection!

You will also be able to have your camera e-mail you snapshots when motion is detected. It’s a great affordable security solution!

This guide will show you how to forward ranges of ports on the Linksys Cable/DSL Router with the newer versions of the firmware (1.3x).

Only the newer versions of the firmware support port ranging. Older firmware support only single port numbers, not port ranging. The router information says that you cannot have port forwarding enabled if you have DHCP enabled on the router. This is NOT correct.

You CAN have both port forwarding AND DHCP active if you take the proper precautions. You need to create a network that is half static, and half dynamic. You must assign your server machine a static LAN IP address. The rest of your computers on your network can have dynamic LAN IP addresses assigned from the Linksys router.

You must make sure that the range of IP numbers that the Linksys router assigns does not include the static IP address you gave your server. For example, if you gave your server the IP number 192.168.1.20, then you can tell your Linksys router to assign IP’s from the range of 192.168.1.100 –> 192.168.1.200.

Basically, you don’t want the static IP of your server to be included in the range of IP’s your router will be handing out to the rest of your computers. This holds true for any home router. 

To log onto your Linksys router, type in “192.168.1.1″ into your web browser. You’ll see the following prompt asking for the username and password. This is the first page you’ll see when you log onto your linksys router.

Click on the orange tab labeled “Advanced”.

Click on the orange tab labeled “Forwarding”.

In the gray box is the list of ports that are commonly used by servers. In our example here, we will forward ports 80 (for HTTP) and ports 25 (for SMTP mail).

Why no FTP port? First of all, the less ports open, the more secure your home network is from the Internet. Second of all, I’m assuming you’ll be doing your FTP’ing from home on the LAN so these port forwarding won’t matter. You’ll still be able to FTP from inside your LAN network, just not from the WAN (Internet) But since it’s your own network, you’re free to open whichever ports you like!

 The computer (server) we want to forward the port to in our example has the IP number of “192.168.1.20″. If you want to specify only a single port number, enter the same number in both boxes.

If you want to specify a range, enter the lower and upper numbers of the range in the two boxes. This is what it looks like when it’s done: Click on “Apply” at the bottom of the screen and you’re done!

The changes take place immediately and you should be able to access your webserver by typing in the IP number of your DSL or Cable Modem (WAN IP number).

Note: You can also access your server from the internal IP number (LAN), but this does not test if your port forwarding is working correctly or not.

• Locate the mini CD-R software installation disc that was included inside the package with your EZ Cam. Insert the disc into the computer that will be running your camera monitoring software.

 

•  Find the file on the disc that is titled IPCamSetup and run that setup file. Follow the on-screen installation instructions.

 

• At the end of the installation it will tell you to remove ALL discs from your CD/DVD drives (including the IPCam installation disc). Then choose “Yes- restart my computer now”

 

• When you computer boots back-up you should find an icon on your desktop that is labelled “IP Camera Tool”.

 

• Before you open the camera tool use the included Cat 5 network cable and plug it into the back of your EZ Cam and the other end into an empty port on the back of your router. Then plug your EZ Cam into a near-by wall AC Outlet using the included power supply cord.

 

• Now you are ready to use the IP Camera Tool software that you just installed. Open the IP Camera Tool on your computer and you will see a large white window screen. This tool will search for your ez ip Cams automatically!

 

• Click on your ezCam address that you see listed. Right-click on your choice and choose “Network Configuration”. Make sure your set your Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS Server addresses to match your routers addresses. If you have a linksys router you can compare these addresses by logging into your Linksys Router using this address in Internet Explorer: http://192.168.1.1

 

• You can set your IP Address of your camera here also by either checking the box to obtain from DHCP Server or assigning your own “static address” (such as 192.168.1.115) I would recommend using a static address if you will be operating more than one ezCam.

 

• Make a note of your ezCam’s IP Address and the HTTP Port Number (exmpl: 80)

 

• Open Internet Explorer and type in the address of your ezCam followed by a colon symbol and your HTTP Port number (exmpl: http://192.168.1.xxx:80)

DIAGRAM B

There are many reasons why people install network cameras.

First, the viewing console is built right into every individual camera, whether it be wired or wireless. The benefit of this is you can log into any ip network camera from an internet connection from anywhere in the world and be able to instantly view the cameras video. You can even snap a shot or record it on you end!

Wireless ip network cameras provide a great way to monitor your home or warehouse or small business because they are easier to set-up and install. You don’t have to drill into your walls or ceiling to run the network cables because it operates through a wireless router network with-in the home or building.

These type of ip cameras are great for keeping an eye out on your children, pets, home entry way, business lobby, warehouse or anywhere you would like to monitor!
