  • Page 13: Setting Up The Wifi Network Camera

    5. Setting up the WiFi Network Camera 5.1. Introduction The below diagram shows how to integrate the WiFi Network Camera in your existing home network and how it can be accessed via the Internet. The router provides the local network in your home and also provides access to the Internet. The WiFi Network Camera is therefore connected to the router using a network cable or via WiFi.
  • Page 14: System Requirements

    5. Set up port forwarding in the router to allow the WiFi Network Camera to be accessed from the Internet (see section 5.8, Internet access). 6. Install the App “Maginon IPC Viewer” for Smartphones and TabletPCs (see section 8, Use with mobile devices).
  • Page 15: Hardware Installation

    5.3. Hardware installation Using an existing router, the WiFi Network Camera is integrated in an existing computer network. A router is generally a device connecting your computer or a local network to the Internet. To carry out these basic settings on the WiFi Network Camera, the camera must first be connected directly to the router using the supplied network cable.
  • Page 16: Software Installation

    The following selection menu should then appear. If the menu does not start automatically, select My Computer on your computer and open the CD/DVD drive “Maginon IP Camera” by clicking on it with the mouse. Start the CDMenu/ CDMenu.exe. program by double clicking on the option.
  • Page 17: Connecting The Wifi Network Camera

    5.5. Connecting the WiFi Network Camera Ensure that the WiFi Network Camera is connected to the router via the network cable and is connected to the mains (see section 5.3, Hardware installation). Next, open the program supra IPCam Config. In the program select “Start search” to view a list of reachable WiFi Network Cameras. From the list select the WiFi Network Camera you wish to set up or call up.
  • Page 18 The WiFi Network Camera is automatically set up in the network if the option “Use DHCP” has been activated and the used router also supports DHCP and the function has been activated. If under address an address other than 0.0.0.0 appears, the automatic network set up of the WiFi Network Camera was successful.
  • Page 19: Installation On Mac Os

    This IP address allows you to access the configuration data of the router. You will then need the IP address of the WiFi Network Camera from the settings data. This address allows you to open the configuration side of IPC-1A and adjust the settings of the WiFi Network Camera.
  • Page 20 Now change to the “TCP/IP” page where you can find the IP address of your router behind “Router”. In the below example this is address 192.168.16.1. Determining the IP address of the WiFi Network Camera Open the Internet Browser Safari and enter the IP address of your router as the target address.
  • Page 21 Please note that the configuration of your router may differ from the shown example. In the list, the WiFi Network Camera is shown as “ipcam_xxx”. In the above example this is “ipcam_006E060241 B6“. Next to it is the IP address of the WiFi Network Camera (here: 192.168.1.113).
  • Page 22: Setting Up A Wireless Connection

    5.7. Setting up the wireless connection The WiFi Network Camera can be connected to the router using a wireless connection via WLAN.

  • Page 23: Internet Access

    5.8. Internet access In the previous sections the WiFi Network Camera was set up in such a way that the camera can be accessed within your local network. This section now explains how the surveillance camera can be accessed via the Internet. To be able to call up the WiFi Network Camera via the Internet you first of all require the Internet address (public IP address) of your Internet access.
  • Page 24 If an error message appears after calling up the WiFi Network Camera via the public IP address from outside the local network, access to the WiFi Network Camera is probably blocked by the Firewall integrated in your router. In this case, the settings of the router must be changed in such a way that access to the camera via the Internet is permitted.
  • Page 25 In the shown example, two WiFi Network Cameras are connected to the router, one camera named IPCamera1 with the local network address 192.168.1.110 and a second camera with the name IPCamera2 and the local network address 192.168.1.111. We are now setting the external port 81 as access for the WiFi Network Camera IPCamera1. TCP and UDP protocols may be selected but only TCP is required.
