Customer Evaluations
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, and so on. brand, but I consider it is the exact same camera branded in various brands to accommodate completely different markets. I admit, it would Assist if you are tech savvy or at least have some expertise in network configuration to expedite the set up and get the camera running, but that's not needed. This camera isn't exactly the most fool-proof camera in the market, but its feature make up for it.
The instructions are readable, albeit choppy due to the poor Chinese-to-English translation. OK here's the deal. I am going to write a lengthy semi-assessment, semi-how-to for this awesome IP camera seeing the require for an instruction for Mac users. First of all, I am a Mac user operating on OS X ten.7.2 Lion and I got this bad boy up and operating within an hour. For all you Mac users out there, you are going to want to have temporary access to a Windows machine.
If you don't have a Windows machine, see UPDATE four at the end of this assessment - then follow actions 3 and forward. I am writing this review beneath the presumption that the typical user has no expertise of MAC access control list or WiFi DHCP client table from your router to set-up the camera it through WiFi. You need it to run the application that allows you to detect and configure the camera's IP. Regrettably, this application is written for Windows only. But that's all you require a Windows machine for. Once you configure the camera's IP address to function with your LAN, then you can use the internet interface and configure a entire sleuth of other selections, such as the alarm function, FTP, Mail and other. So without having adieu, let's do this!
I've taken screenshots to help accommodate the mini guide beneath. So check out the user-submitted images 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 simply because my WiFi network is secured over many layers of security (Sonic Wall fire wall, MAC manage, etc.) and it really is just much easier to get the cam up and operating by way of the LAN.
.) Connect your IP camera to your LAN via ethernet and plug in the power provide.
1.) Get access to a Windows machine. I dual-booted to Windows Vista via Boot Camp. Make sure this Windows machine has access to your LAN.
two.) Run the application with the file name, DevFind.exe - you can obtain it in the directory, /EasyN F2 series IP camera installation CD/computer software. My included install disc was a blank CD-R disc! so I had to download the CD content material 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 find 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 be indicated in a silver sticker located underneath the camera. The similar sticker can also be identified on the exterior of the box. Generally, the default IP should certainly be something along the line of 192 . 168 . 1 . 126 and access port 81 (it could be numerous). Due to the fact 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? When you got that down, click on the "APPLY" button to make the adjustments.
four.) Click on the "Other individuals" tab beneath the Gear Info field. Take note of the information situated 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 indicates is you only allow certain network devices permission to connect to your LAN. Even if the connecting client knows your WEP/WPA/WPA2 password, they nevertheless will not be in a position to connect to your Wi-Fi unless their device is registered to the access control list. The unique 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 previous step to your router's access control list. The convention should really be XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX 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. 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 does not get reassigned by the DHCP to one more network device by accident.
6.) You will definitely want to port-forward your camera if you plan to remote view from outside. In your router setup, go to the "Port Forwarding" page - it really is generally beneath "Advanced setup" or a thing comparable. 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.) Next, you really should be in a position to punch in the IP address and port number you have assigned to the camera as noted on step 3 onto your internet browser and launch the net-based utility app e.g. http:// 192 . 168 . . 155:310. When you first try to access the camera by means of a internet browser, it will ask you for a username and a password. This specifics is situated underneath the camera and also on the box. It is in most cases "admin" for the username and a blank password, but double check your equipment.
8.) Choose the viewing method if you are using IE select the 1st link, if you're employing Firefox, choose the second link, and so on.
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 have to have to punch in your ISP assigned IP address, followed by your port. You can find out your ISP assigned address by going into your router and seeking at the details located in the "simple setting" location. Thanks to daniel for pointing this out. If you have a dynamic IP address, then I advocate signing up for a dynamic DNS server, such as dyndns.org. Be confident to update the DDNS region of the internet utility with the suitable login credential to your dynamic DNS provider.
I'm working on the wireless LAN setup, so I'll edit this evaluation as soon as I have a certain fire way to set it up so I can append a easy how-to to assist 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).
Since I am a Mac user, the IP Camera utility is USELESS (unless you're making use of Parallel or Fusion to run Windows). I rely solely on the net-based interface to view the camera. It functions like a charm so far. The camera's pan and tilt function is SUPER fast. Of course, that's since 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 further instruct the camera to upload screenshots at set intervals to an FTP server and/or email you the screenshots to an e mail address (see photos). You undoubtedly do not need to be Cisco or A+ certified to get this camera to operate.
EDIT: As for scheduling the motion-detector, it works if you set it correctly. From the web-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 won't go into have an effect on after about 30 seconds just after rebooting. I did not know this at initially and thought this feature was defunct from factory. I'm guessing the camera is giving you time to evacuate the premise before arming itself. The scheduling calendar is quite cumbersome, so it really is almost certainly simpler to just turn on or turn off the motion detector.
Also considering that you want Web Explorer to use the ActiveX enabled net interface, Mac users will luck out. The IE version of the net interface makes it possible for you to record video (AVI format), take a snapshot, listen and talk through your camera, along with the ability to command multiple cameras. It also appears that the remote on/off switch functions with the ActiveX IE control interface, but doens't for the other interfaces. I have not had time to fully 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 house to sign for it. I set up the camera for motion detection and it picked up the delivery, snap a few shots and emailed to me in addition to continuously snapping shots in 5 seconds interval and uploading it to the FTP server. Merely great for $5x.00.
I'm so impressed with this camera I'll be buying two even more units, possibly in white so they can blend with the white walls.
UPDATE three: For WiFi, make certain 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 really is set at 5 ghz at N-mode only... Read more›
Beware of this cam unless your have fantastic network and webcam setup knowledge. The instructions are so poorly translated into English that it is laughable. The setup software will stump you quickly unless you know your way about network config, IP cams and the particulars of your existing house network. The included "Super Client" software appears to be a trial product that you have to obtain 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't uncover any included reg code and every time your run the computer software you are prompted to download a new version...the identical version you just downloaded.
The cam displays excellent quality video. Pan and tilt work fine. Ftp alternatives are actually non-existent. For example, I require to ftp through daylight hours only. There is no way to schedule ftp...it is either on or off. Period.
