Accessing Camera from the WEB
There are two ways to connect the EDGE camera from internet:
1.
Use SIM card with public static IP address
2.
Use SIM card with public dynamic IP address witch will be linked to static hostname
using DDNS service.
Note: If the SIM card is with private IP address then reaching camera from the internet is not
possible as connection is routed through a NAT firewall in your provider‟s GSM network.
1.7.1
SIM card with public static IP address
Open your WEB browser and type SIM card‟s IP address, when the camera GSM connection
has been set up. After successful connection camera‟s login page must appear.
Note: If the Web server (camera) port has been changed in the Network settings then IP
address should be written in the following form:
http://A.A.A.A:B,
where A.A.A.A is the camera IP address and B the Camera Web server port.
1.7.2
SIM card with public dynamic IP address
For the SIM card with dynamic public IP address the IP address is given for a limited period of
time, which is usually no more than a few hours, then the IP address is changed. As the IP address is
continuously changed it becomes a problem to connect to the camera. To solve this problem Dynamic
Domain Name Service (DDNS) may be used. DDNS is a domain name service allowing to link
dynamic IP addresses to static hostname.
To start using this feature firstly a hostname must be registered on the DDNS server. The
camera is preconfigured to connect to the www.dyndns.com server for updating camera IP address.
After creating account at www.dyndns.com you will get: Hostname Username and Password.
To link camera‟s IP address to the static hostname, Dynamic DNS settings must be configured.
To configure DDNS connect to the camera WEB configuration page, go the
Network
tab (Fig. 6).
