Customer Testimonials
The camera I got was branded EasyN, but the box art shown on the product info page matches the box I got. Some folks claim they have Foscam, Apexis, Hootoo, etc. brand, but I assume it's the same camera branded in completely different brands to accommodate various markets. I admit, it would Support if you are tech savvy or at least have some expertise in network configuration to expedite the set up and get the camera operating, but that is not needed. This camera isn't exactly the most fool-proof camera in the industry, but its function make up for it.
The directions are readable, albeit choppy due to the poor Chinese-to-English translation. OK here's the deal. I'm going to write a lengthy semi-assessment, semi-how-to for this awesome IP camera seeing the have to have for an instruction for Mac users. Initially of all, I am a Mac user operating on OS X 10.7.two Lion and I got this negative boy up and operating inside an hour. For all you Mac users out there, you'll need to have temporary access to a Windows machine.
If you don't have a Windows machine, see UPDATE 4 at the finish of this evaluation - then follow steps three and forward. I am writing this assessment below the presumption that the typical user has no understanding of MAC access manage list or WiFi DHCP client table from your router to set-up the camera it by way of WiFi. You want it to run the application that will allow you to detect and configure the camera's IP. However, this application is written for Windows only. But that's all you have to have a Windows machine for. Once you configure the camera's IP address to operate with your LAN, then you can use the internet interface and configure a complete sleuth of other possibilities, which includes the alarm function, FTP, Mail and other. So with out adieu, let's do this!
I've taken screenshots to assist accommodate the mini guide beneath. So check out the user-submitted pictures for 7+ images I've added for directions on how to proceed. The instruction is for connecting the camera to a LAN - I chose this route since my WiFi network is secured over various layers of security (Sonic Wall fire wall, MAC manage, and so on.) and it is just less difficult to get the cam up and operating by means of the LAN.
.) Connect your IP camera to your LAN through ethernet and plug in the power provide.
1.) Get access to a Windows machine. I dual-booted to Windows Vista through Boot Camp. Make confident this Windows machine has access to your LAN.
two.) Run the application with the file name, DevFind.exe - you can locate it in the directory, /EasyN F2 series IP camera installation CD/software program. My included install disc was a blank CD-R disc! so I had to download the CD content material ZIP from the manufacturer's internet web page: "easyntech . com / ShowDownload . asp ? id = 34" you can download the manuals in PDF format from the website also).
three.) Run the DevFind.exe to locate your camera, then modify the camera's IP address so that it matches your LAN's IP range structure, subnet mask and gateway. The default IP address assigned to the camera should really be indicated in a silver sticker situated underneath the camera. The exact same sticker can also be identified on the exterior of the box. Basically, the default IP ought to be a thing along the line of 192 . 168 . 1 . 126 and access port 81 (it could be different). Since my LAN's IP range structure is 192.168..x, I have assigned the camera an IP address of 192 . 168 . . 155. I changed out the default port of 81 to 310. Know me so far? As soon as you got that down, click on the "APPLY" button to make the modifications.
four.) Click on the "Others" tab under the Gear Data field. Take note of the data located in the "MAC" field, it will need to be a 12 letter/quantity string of characters.
5.) If you have access controlled enabled in your router, then follow this step. If not, you can skip. What access control signifies is you only let specific network devices permission to connect to your LAN. Even if the connecting client knows your WEP/WPA/WPA2 password, they still will not be able to connect to your Wi-Fi unless their device is registered to the access manage list. The exceptional identifier of the network device is its MAC address. If you have this enabled, then add the camera's MAC address you have just jotted down in the earlier step to your router's access control list. The convention should certainly be XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX exactly where X is a number or a character from the alphabet. So if your camera's MAC address is 00A8F700F341, enter it as 00:A8:F7:00:F3:41 Update and restart your router immediately after entering. If you have the means to reserve IP address designation on your router, I would do so. Because I assigned the camera an IP address of 192 . 168 . . 155, I would reserve this address on the router to the camera's MAC address so that this IP does not get reassigned by the DHCP to another network device by accident.
6.) You will most certainly need to have to port-forward your camera if you strategy to remote view from outside. In your router setup, go to the "Port Forwarding" page - it is normally below "Advanced setup" or one thing equivalent. Considering that I assigned the camera a custom port of 310, I would enter the port range beginning and ending at 310 to be forwarded to the camera's IP address of 192 . 168 . . 155 .
7.) Next, you should be in a position to punch in the IP address and port quantity you have assigned to the camera as noted on step 3 onto your net browser and launch the web-based utility app e.g. http:// 192 . 168 . . 155:310. When you initially try to access the camera through a web browser, it will ask you for a username and a password. This info is situated underneath the camera and also on the box. It really is usually "admin" for the username and a blank password, but double check your equipment.
8.) Select the viewing procedure if you are using IE select the very first link, if you happen to be utilizing Firefox, select the second link, etc.
9.) View your camera, control it, etc
ten.) Click on the Selections icon to access the net-based configuration app, or punch in http:// 192 . 168 . . 155:310 /admin2.htm to access it straight
11.) Configure all sorts of other goodies, such as FTP access, E-mail, alarm, DDNS, Alias, and so on.
12.) If you want to view your camera from remote (i.e. outside of your property network), assuming you have a static IP, then you want to punch in your ISP assigned IP address, followed by your port. You can locate out your ISP assigned address by going into your router and searching at the data located in the "fundamental setting" area. Thanks to daniel for pointing this out. If you have a dynamic IP address, then I advise signing up for a dynamic DNS server, such as dyndns.org. Be positive to update the DDNS area of the internet utility with the suitable login credential to your dynamic DNS provider.
I am operating on the wireless LAN setup, so I'll edit this evaluation once I have a positive fire way to set it up so I can append a rather simple how-to to assist people get started. Any question, just comment. Again, this is from a Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 user (at the time of this writing).
Because I am a Mac user, the IP Camera utility is USELESS (unless you're employing Parallel or Fusion to run Windows). I rely solely on the net-based interface to view the camera. It works like a charm so far. The camera's pan and tilt function is SUPER quick. Of course, that is mainly because I set it at the fastest level you can set it according to your taste. You can set up the Alarm feature so that its motion detector can pick up motion contingent on how sensitive you set the camera to behave. When the alarm mode is triggered, you can additional instruct the camera to upload screenshots at set intervals to an FTP server and/or e mail you the screenshots to an e mail address (see photographs). You unquestionably don't need to be Cisco or A+ certified to get this camera to operate.
EDIT: As for scheduling the motion-detector, it operates if you set it correctly. From the internet-configuration utility, click on "Alarm Service Setting." Set the sensitivity level, etc., then check if you want to have the camera email you and/or take screenshots of events triggering the alarm and upload to a designated FTP server. I checked each. For the scheduler, check "Scheduler" to bring up a week calendar with hour. Click on the hours you'd like the camera to trigger its motion-detector, then press "Set". Note that the alarm mode won't go into influence just after about 30 seconds just after rebooting. I didn't know this at first and believed this feature was defunct from factory. I am guessing the camera is giving you time to evacuate the premise before arming itself. The scheduling calendar is particularly cumbersome, so it is possibly a lot easier to just turn on or turn off the motion detector.
Also since you will need World-wide-web Explorer to use the ActiveX enabled net interface, Mac users will luck out. The IE version of the web interface makes it possible for you to record video (AVI format), take a snapshot, listen and talk by way of your camera, along with the capability to command many cameras. It also appears that the remote on/off switch operates with the ActiveX IE control interface, but doens't for the other interfaces. I haven't had time to totally test them.
UPDATE two: I live in an apartment complicated where I gave permission to the leasing staff to deliver packages into my apartment when I am not property to sign for it. I set up the camera for motion detection and it picked up the delivery, snap a couple of shots and emailed to me in addition to continuously snapping shots in five seconds interval and uploading it to the FTP server. Simply great for $5x.00.
I am so impressed with this camera I'll be acquiring two far more units, possibly in white so they can blend with the white walls.
UPDATE three: For WiFi, make confident your router is 802.11 a/b/g compatible and set at two.4ghz frequency. The IP camera will not choose up your router if it's set at five ghz at N-mode only... Read more›
Beware of this cam unless your have superior network and webcam setup experience. The directions are so poorly translated into English that it really is laughable. The setup software will stump you promptly unless you know your way around network config, IP cams and the particulars of your current house network. The included "Super Client" software program appears to be a trial item that you should buy if you want to use it longer than a single hour per day. I do not recall any mention of that in the Amazon product descriptions. At least I cannot get any included reg code and each time your run the software program you are prompted to download a new version...the similar version you just downloaded.
The cam displays fine high quality video. Pan and tilt operate fine. Ftp solutions are literally non-existent. For instance, I have to have to ftp through daylight hours only. There is no way to schedule ftp...it is either on or off. Period.
