WatchBot Home Security Camera - User Guide
How to get your WatchBot IP Camera
working with your router
With some router configurations, it is necessary to make adjustments
to the router setup in order to operate your WatchBot camera. Below
are walk-throughs for two different router scenarios - a BT Home Hub
and NetGear router. Your router admin may or may not be exactly as
described below, but hopefully these details will be close enough for
you to find the correct settings for your exact product. If in doubt,
please contact your network service provider and consult your router
manual. The following settings worked when tested December 2011.
Using a BT Home Hub
Firstly, with your camera plugged in, press the Reset button on the camera
base. It will be marked 'Reset' (you will need to perform this with a biro nib)
then wait until your camera has gone through it's boot cycle (it will stop
moving). Next see section 1.3 in the User Guide to set up your camera on
your local network. (Make a note of the local IP address asigned to the
camera - it will begin '192.168') Login to your camera interface using
'admin' as the username and leave the password field blank. Sign in, and
go to 'Administration' ('Device Settings' on Firefox etc.) and then to 'Basic
Network Settings'. Check the box which says 'Obtain IP from DHCP server'
and change the HTTP Port to 81 and click Submit. The camera will reboot
once again. (
Note:
If you have purchased additional cameras, each
camera will need to have it's own unique port number assigned, eg. 81, 82,
83 etc.).
1. Login to your BT Home Hub router page. Contact your network
service provider or consult your router manual if in doubt. (Typical
address is 192.168.1.254)
2. Go to Settings | Advanced Settings
3. Go to Port Forwarding | Supported Applications
4. Select Add New Game or Application
5. In the Game/application name field, type 'watchbot_tcp' (Say "No" to
'Copy Existing game/application')
6. Under Game or Application Definition enter as below:
