Setup Step 4: Automatic Updating of your Camera’s
Internet IP Address
In the previous step we set up a name for your camera. To make sure that this
hostname always corresponds to the correct IP address for your camera we
have to make sure it is updated automatically when there is a change.
There is no need for client software. Sharx IP cameras have a DDNS menu that
allows you to enter your hostname information. This DDNS menu is under
“Network” in the camera’s “Settings”. Be sure to select the correct DDNS
provider, for instance if you signed up with No-IP.com you should select No-IP
in the camera’s DDNS menu.
After you enter your account and hostname information you can go to the
camera’s “System” menu at the top of the Settings screen and scroll down to
the DDNS section to see if it worked. If it says “Updating” or “Unavailable” you
should double check your account settings. No-IP.com uses your complete
email address as username, and the password required in this menu is the one
you created during No-IP account setup. If successful the camera will show you
the complete external URL for your reference. Note: Only 1 single camera per
network needs the DDNS setup. This enables access to the entire network.
Important Notes
1)
If you try to access your own camera(s) from your home using the
external IP address it may not work. Some internet service providers
recognize that you are trying to do something that usually doesn’t
make sense. Their routers may block requests that go from your
network out to the internet and then loop back to your own network.
Therefore we always recommend that you get in touch with a friend
to help you test the remote access to your camera from outside your
own network. Or you can use an iPhone in 3G mode (Wifi turned off)
2)
Once your camera is live on the internet, you should change the admin
password to something only you would know. See the “User
Management” menu under “Tools” section of your camera’s
“Settings” screen. Only
admin
can change settings. If you add other
user names they can only see video without changing anything.
If you forget your password you can always reset your camera to factory
settings using the reset procedure shown at the end of this manual.
