Activating Wireless Connection (WIFI)

Once the local network has been successfully connected, the camera can be accessed
by entering the IP address of the camera, or by selecting the IP address in the HMSearch
software and pressing Browse. Live video is accessed from the menu Video View found
on the login interface and the camera settings are found thru the setup menu.
From the menu, select Network > Wifi.
1. Tick the checkbox On next to Enable Wireless (1)
2. Click Scan to display the available WIFI networks.
3. Select the preferred WIFI network (2). Security/encryption settings will be filled out
automatically Enter the WIFI key in the text box Key and Re-Type Key (3)
4. Click Check (4) and wait approx. 30 sec. while the settings are verified.
5. If WIFI is connected the message Connect the WIFI Success will display. Click OK
followed by Apply (5). If the message is not displayed, the WIFI network is unavailable
or the key was administered incorrectly. Check the parameters and restart the WIFI
procedure.
Activating Internet Access – remote access (WAN)
Remote access is used whenever users wish to access their cameras from a computer
away from home. This can e.g. be while at work, vacation and visiting friends.
For remote access setup select Network > Remote Access.
Remote access can be obtained in three different ways. For all three ways, it is necessary
to open the assigned network port in the router. Either manually by port forwarding or by
use of UPnP (explained later in this chapter).
1. On the camera a label with the camera's remote internet access address is found.
This address is also found in the camera menu Manufacturers Domain (1). When
the checkbox ON is ticked, the camera can be accessed from remote locations by
launching an internet browser and inputting the address followed by colon (:) and the
portnumber set as Http Port in HMSearch. E.g. the address could be http://001ldlo.
nwsrv1.com:80.

2. The second – and recommended - way is to use a static/fixed IP address if your
Internet supplier has assigned such to your router. If so; the checkbox should be tick
in OFF and the camera's Internet address will e.g. be http://15.13.780.23:80. Note that
it is not the camera address from HMSearch but the router's Internet address, which
must be used. Contact your Internet supplier who can inform you whether or not you
have a fixed/static IP address. Your IP address is found by clicking Internet IP Ad-
dress.
3. The third way to acquire remote access is by using a 3. Party DDNS. If such is avail-
able, the Manufacturer's DDNS checkbox should be set in OFF position (1), the Third
Party DDNS checkbox should be in the OFF position (2) and the third party DDNS
provider's parameters should be filled in.
In order to aquire remote access by use of one of the three ways explained above, the
network router has to be enabled to
allow the connection.
The SafeHome Internet Surveillance
Cameras have a built-in feature called
UPnP, which automatically communi-
cates with the router in order to enable
the Internet connection. For all three
ways of remote access, the checkbox
UPnP Port Forwarding (3) should be
ticked. Alternatively, the user must es-
tablish a port forwarding in the router
from the selected port to the camera
IP address.
Save by tap at Apply (4).
Check the router settings to verify that
UPnP is enabled in the router also in case the connection from the Internet cannot be
established. If both camera and router have UPnP enabled, contact your Internet supplier
to verify that the assigned port is allowed used for IP cameras or if it should be changed
in the menu Network > Network > HTTP port.
