You can access the IP Camera from the Internet (remote access). Enter the WAN IP address
and port number in IE browser or other browsers you use. For example, Http://
218.17.160.187:8888
Make sure port mapping (or also known as port forwarding) is successful. You can do port
mapping in two ways.
1) Enter the setting page of the router to enable UPNP function. Then login the camera as
administrator, choose UPnP Settings to enable UPNP and make sure the state is "UPnP
success".
2) Do port forwarding manually. (details: Fig.3.16)
For dynamic IP user
DDNS is a service that allows your IP Camera, especially when assigned with a dynamic IP
address, to have a fixed host and domain name. This means that even though your WAN IP
address is constantly changing, you will have a fixed hostname you can use to access your
cameras at all times. You can access the camera directly from the Internet using the hostname
and port number.
FOSCAM domain name
Each Foscam camera has an embedded unique DDNS domain name, the format of this domain
name is xxxxxx.myfoscam.org. On the camera body, you can see the domain name sticker.
Here take camera.myfoscam.org for example. Go to option of DDNS Service Settings on the
administrator panel, you can see the domain name(Figure 3.12).
Now you can use http:// Domain name + HTTP Port to access the camera via internet.
Take hostname camera.myfoscam.org and HTTP Port no. 8888 for example, the accessing
link of the camera via internet would be
