Client Testimonials
The camera I got was branded EasyN, but the box art shown on the item information page matches the box I got. Some people claim they have Foscam, Apexis, Hootoo, etc. brand, but I assume it is the identical camera branded in various brands to accommodate several markets. I admit, it would Help if you are tech savvy or at least have some understanding in network configuration to expedite the set up and get the camera running, but that is not required. This camera is not exactly the most fool-proof camera in the marketplace, 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-evaluation, semi-how-to for this amazing IP camera seeing the will need for an instruction for Mac users. 1st of all, I am a Mac user running on OS X ten.7.two Lion and I got this negative boy up and operating within an hour. For all you Mac users out there, you will have to have to have temporary access to a Windows machine.
If you don't have a Windows machine, see UPDATE four at the end of this evaluation - then follow steps 3 and forward. I am writing this evaluation under the presumption that the typical user has no knowledge of MAC access control list or WiFi DHCP client table from your router to set-up the camera it through WiFi. You will need it to run the application that permits you to detect and configure the camera's IP. Sadly, this application is written for Windows only. But that's all you require a Windows machine for. As soon as you configure the camera's IP address to operate with your LAN, then you can use the internet interface and configure a entire sleuth of other alternatives, which includes the alarm feature, FTP, Mail and other. So with out adieu, let's do this!
I've taken screenshots to aid accommodate the mini guide below. So check out the user-submitted pictures for 7+ pictures I've added for directions on how to proceed. The instruction is for connecting the camera to a LAN - I chose this route for the reason that my WiFi network is secured over various layers of security (Sonic Wall fire wall, MAC manage, and so on.) and it's just simpler to get the cam up and operating by way of the LAN.
.) Connect your IP camera to your LAN by way of ethernet and plug in the power supply.
1.) Get access to a Windows machine. I dual-booted to Windows Vista via Boot Camp. Make certain this Windows machine has access to your LAN.
2.) Run the application with the file name, DevFind.exe - you can locate it in the directory, /EasyN F2 series IP camera installation CD/software. My included install disc was a blank CD-R disc! so I had to download the CD content ZIP from the manufacturer's net web page: "easyntech . com / ShowDownload . asp ? id = 34" you can download the manuals in PDF format from the website too).
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 must be indicated in a silver sticker situated underneath the camera. The very same sticker can also be located on the exterior of the box. Essentially, the default IP should certainly be something along the line of 192 . 168 . 1 . 126 and access port 81 (it could be several). Because 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. Have an understanding of me so far? As soon as you got that down, click on the "APPLY" button to make the adjustments.
four.) Click on the "Other individuals" tab beneath the Equipment Details field. Take note of the info located in the "MAC" field, it need to be a 12 letter/quantity string of characters.
five.) 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 permit certain 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 distinctive 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 manage list. The convention should really be XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX where X is a quantity 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 after entering. If you have the indicates to reserve IP address designation on your router, I would do so. Due to the fact 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 doesn't get reassigned by the DHCP to a different network device by accident.
6.) You'll most certainly need to have to port-forward your camera if you program to remote view from outside. In your router setup, go to the "Port Forwarding" page - it is normally under "Advanced setup" or some thing related. Given that I assigned the camera a custom port of 310, I would enter the port range starting and ending at 310 to be forwarded to the camera's IP address of 192 . 168 . . 155 .
7.) Subsequent, 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 three onto your internet browser and launch the internet-based utility app e.g. http:// 192 . 168 . . 155:310. When you very first try to access the camera by means of a net browser, it will ask you for a username and a password. This information is situated underneath the camera and also on the box. It is typically "admin" for the username and a blank password, but double check your gear.
8.) Select the viewing method if you are using IE choose the initial link, if you're employing Firefox, pick the second link, and so on.
9.) View your camera, control it, and so on
ten.) Click on the Solutions icon to access the net-based configuration app, or punch in http:// 192 . 168 . . 155:310 /admin2.htm to access it directly
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 household network), assuming you have a static IP, then you will need to punch in your ISP assigned IP address, followed by your port. You can acquire out your ISP assigned address by going into your router and searching at the specifics located in the "standard setting" region. Thanks to daniel for pointing this out. If you have a dynamic IP address, then I suggest signing up for a dynamic DNS server, such as dyndns.org. Be positive to update the DDNS area of the net utility with the suitable login credential to your dynamic DNS provider.
I'm operating on the wireless LAN setup, so I'll edit this review as soon as I have a confident fire way to set it up so I can append a uncomplicated how-to to help people get began. Any question, just comment. Again, this is from a Mac OS X Lion 10.7.two user (at the time of this writing).
Considering the fact that I am a Mac user, the IP Camera utility is USELESS (unless you are working with Parallel or Fusion to run Windows). I rely solely on the net-based interface to view the camera. It operates like a charm so far. The camera's pan and tilt feature is SUPER rapidly. Of course, that's due to the fact 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 choose up motion contingent on how sensitive you set the camera to behave. Once the alarm mode is triggered, you can further 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 photos). You unquestionably don't want to be Cisco or A+ certified to get this camera to function.
EDIT: As for scheduling the motion-detector, it works if you set it correctly. From the net-configuration utility, click on "Alarm Service Setting." Set the sensitivity level, and so on., then check if you want to have the camera e-mail you and/or take screenshots of events triggering the alarm and upload to a designated FTP server. I checked both. 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 will not go into have an effect on soon after about 30 seconds just after rebooting. I didn't know this at very first and believed this function was defunct from factory. I'm guessing the camera is giving you time to evacuate the premise ahead of arming itself. The scheduling calendar is very cumbersome, so it really is almost certainly less difficult to just turn on or turn off the motion detector.
Also given that you will need Internet Explorer to use the ActiveX enabled net interface, Mac users will luck out. The IE version of the web interface will allow you to record video (AVI format), take a snapshot, listen and talk by way of your camera, along with the potential to command various cameras. It also appears that the remote on/off switch operates with the ActiveX IE manage interface, but doens't for the other interfaces. I have not had time to completely test them.
UPDATE two: I reside in an apartment complicated exactly where I gave permission to the leasing staff to deliver packages into my apartment when I am not home to sign for it. I set up the camera for motion detection and it picked up the delivery, snap a handful of shots and emailed to me in addition to continuously snapping shots in 5 seconds interval and uploading it to the FTP server. Simply amazing for $5x.00.
I'm so impressed with this camera I'll be acquiring two much more units, possibly in white so they can blend with the white walls.
UPDATE three: For WiFi, make positive your router is 802.11 a/b/g compatible and set at 2.4ghz frequency. The IP camera will not choose up your router if it's set at 5 ghz at N-mode only... Read more›
Beware of this cam unless your have beneficial network and webcam setup experience. The directions are so poorly translated into English that it's laughable. The setup software will stump you quickly unless you know your way about network config, IP cams and the particulars of your current dwelling network. The included "Super Client" software appears to be a trial item that you have to acquire if you want to use it longer than one particular hour per day. I do not recall any mention of that in the Amazon item descriptions. At least I can not uncover any included reg code and each and every time your run the software you are prompted to download a new version...the identical version you just downloaded.
The cam displays beneficial quality video. Pan and tilt function fine. Ftp alternatives are actually non-existent. For instance, I have to have to ftp throughout daylight hours only. There is no way to schedule ftp...it really is either on or off. Period.
