Security
We strongly recommend that you modify your password when
you log in for the first time.
To do this, choose “
Settings
” on the top of the camera interface,
then go to the “
Basic Settings - User Accounts
” section on the
left side of the screen.
Here you can change the username and password to prevent
intruders from accessing your camera. The default username is
admin with no password.
Note:
1.
If you forget your username or password, you can press and
hold the reset button on the cable of the camera using a pin for 5
seconds. This resets the camera to factory defaults.
2.
If you want to access your camera over wireless or the Internet,
please continue with the setup by following the Wireless and

Remote Access
If you need to access your IP camera outside of your LAN, you
need to configure some settings on your router. Please follow the
corresponding steps:
Input the Username and
password, click OK.
IP Address: Set this in the same
subnet as your computer , or keep
it as default.
Subnet Mask: Keep it as default.
Gateway and DNS Server: Set it to
the IP address of your router.
Right click your camera and
click Network Configuration.

Enable UPnP and DDNS in the camera’s settings page. We
recommend you to use the Foscam DDNS by factory default, but
if you want to use the third party DDNS, please check the user
manual for further instructions.
3.
Configure port (HTTPS port) forwarding on your router. For
these steps, we will be using the
TP-LINK brand wireless router as
an example. First, we need go to the “
Forwarding – Virtual
Servers
” panel for setup. For other brands, you can check the user
guide or user manual of the router, or consult the manufacturer.
Select Yes and click Save.
Click Enable DDNS and click Save.
The content in the Manufacture’s DDNS
column is the domain name of your camera.
You can see the port of your camera here.
If you want to set Remote Access for several cameras on the same
network, you will need to change the HTTPS port for each camera.

Now you can access your IP camera by https://domain name:HTTPS
port via the Internet.
