Setup Tips

• If no camera details are displayed in Y-cam Setup, wait a few minutes, and then try clicking "Refresh" to search your
network again. If it sti ll fails to fi nd your camera, ensure the camera is plugged into your ROUTER and not to your
computer directly, and that it is powered on. Then click "Refresh".
• In your web browsers address bar, there will be an IP address (something similar to htt p://192.168.0.3). This is the
internal IP address of your camera. You can access your camera at anyti me at this web address when the computer you
are using is connected to your local network or wireless wifi system.
• Depending on your router setup, as well as other devices on the network, the internal IP address of your camera may
change from ti me to ti me. If you ever need to re-check your internal IP address, re-run the Y-cam Setup program.
• If you are trying to view the Y-cam for the fi rst ti me, your browser may prompt you to install or allow an "Acti veX Control"

control once.
