Client Critiques

The camera I got was branded EasyN, but the box art shown on the product information page matches the box I got. Some consumers claim they have Foscam, Apexis, Hootoo, and so on. brand, but I think it really is the identical camera branded in several brands to accommodate distinct markets. I admit, it would Support if you are tech savvy or at least have some knowledge in network configuration to expedite the set up and get the camera operating, but that is not necessary. This camera isn't exactly the most fool-proof camera in the market, but its function make up for it.
The instructions are readable, albeit choppy due to the poor Chinese-to-English translation. OK here's the deal. I'm going to write a lengthy semi-critique, semi-how-to for this awesome IP camera seeing the want for an instruction for Mac users. Initially of all, I am a Mac user operating on OS X ten.7.2 Lion and I got this bad boy up and operating within an hour. For all you Mac users out there, you'll will need to have temporary access to a Windows machine.
If you don't have a Windows machine, see UPDATE 4 at the end of this review - then stick to methods three and forward. I am writing this review under the presumption that the typical user has no expertise of MAC access control list or WiFi DHCP client table from your router to set-up the camera it by way of WiFi. You need it to run the application that enables you to detect and configure the camera's IP. Regrettably, this application is written for Windows only. But that is all you need to have a Windows machine for. Once you configure the camera's IP address to work with your LAN, then you can use the net interface and configure a complete sleuth of other possibilities, which includes the alarm function, FTP, Mail and other. So without having adieu, let's do this!
I've taken screenshots to support accommodate the mini guide beneath. So check out the user-submitted pictures for 7+ images I've added for directions on how to proceed. The instruction is for connecting the camera to a LAN - I chose this route for the reason that my WiFi network is secured more than quite a few layers of security (Sonic Wall fire wall, MAC control, and so on.) and it is just a lot easier to get the cam up and operating by way of the LAN.
.) Connect your IP camera to your LAN by way of ethernet and plug in the energy supply.
1.) Get access to a Windows machine. I dual-booted to Windows Vista via Boot Camp. Make sure this Windows machine has access to your LAN.
2.) Run the application with the file name, DevFind.exe - you can come across it in the directory, /EasyN F2 series IP camera installation CD/software package. My included set up disc was a blank CD-R disc! so I had to download the CD content material ZIP from the manufacturer's net website: "easyntech . com / ShowDownload . asp ? id = 34" you can download the manuals in PDF format from the internet site too).
3.) Run the DevFind.exe to find your camera, then modify the camera's IP address so that it matches your LAN's IP range structure, subnet mask and gateway. The default IP address assigned to the camera should be indicated in a silver sticker situated underneath the camera. The identical sticker can also be discovered on the exterior of the box. Fundamentally, the default IP will need to be something along the line of 192 . 168 . 1 . 126 and access port 81 (it could be various). Considering that my LAN's IP range structure is 192.168..x, I have assigned the camera an IP address of 192 . 168 . . 155. I changed out the default port of 81 to 310. Recognize me so far? Once you got that down, click on the "APPLY" button to make the alterations.
four.) Click on the "Other individuals" tab beneath the Gear Knowledge field. Take note of the knowledge located in the "MAC" field, it need to be a 12 letter/quantity string of characters.
five.) If you have access controlled enabled in your router, then adhere to this step. If not, you can skip. What access control means is you only enable specific network devices permission to connect to your LAN. Even if the connecting client knows your WEP/WPA/WPA2 password, they nonetheless will not be in a position to connect to your Wi-Fi unless their device is registered to the access control list. The distinctive identifier of the network device is its MAC address. If you have this enabled, then add the camera's MAC address you've just jotted down in the prior step to your router's access control list. The convention really should be XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX exactly where X is a number or a character from the alphabet. So if your camera's MAC address is 00A8F700F341, enter it as 00:A8:F7:00:F3:41 Update and restart your router right after entering. If you have the means to reserve IP address designation on your router, I would do so. Considering the fact that I assigned the camera an IP address of 192 . 168 . . 155, I would reserve this address on the router to the camera's MAC address so that this IP doesn't get reassigned by the DHCP to another network device by accident.
6.) You will definitely will need to port-forward your camera if you plan to remote view from outside. In your router setup, go to the "Port Forwarding" page - it is usually under "Advanced setup" or some thing equivalent. Since I assigned the camera a custom port of 310, I would enter the port range beginning and ending at 310 to be forwarded to the camera's IP address of 192 . 168 . . 155 .
7.) Next, you ought to be able to punch in the IP address and port number you've assigned to the camera as noted on step three onto your net browser and launch the internet-based utility app e.g. http:// 192 . 168 . . 155:310. When you initial try to access the camera via a net browser, it will ask you for a username and a password. This data is situated underneath the camera and also on the box. It's quite often "admin" for the username and a blank password, but double check your equipment.
8.) Pick the viewing approach if you are using IE choose the 1st link, if you happen to be utilizing Firefox, select the second link, and so on.
9.) View your camera, manage it, and so on
ten.) Click on the Selections icon to access the internet-based configuration app, or punch in http:// 192 . 168 . . 155:310 /admin2.htm to access it directly
11.) Configure all sorts of other goodies, such as FTP access, E mail, alarm, DDNS, Alias, and so forth.
12.) If you want to view your camera from remote (i.e. outside of your residence network), assuming you have a static IP, then you have to have to punch in your ISP assigned IP address, followed by your port. You can find out your ISP assigned address by going into your router and seeking at the info positioned in the "standard setting" location. Thanks to daniel for pointing this out. If you have a dynamic IP address, then I advocate signing up for a dynamic DNS server, such as dyndns.org. Be certain to update the DDNS area of the internet utility with the suitable login credential to your dynamic DNS provider.
I'm working on the wireless LAN setup, so I'll edit this critique once I have a confident fire way to set it up so I can append a effortless how-to to aid people get started out. Any question, just comment. Once more, this is from a Mac OS X Lion ten.7.2 user (at the time of this writing).
Considering that I am a Mac user, the IP Camera utility is USELESS (unless you're applying Parallel or Fusion to run Windows). I rely solely on the internet-based interface to view the camera. It operates like a charm so far. The camera's pan and tilt function is SUPER rapidly. Of course, that is considering that I set it at the fastest level you can set it according to your taste. You can set up the Alarm function so that its motion detector can pick up motion contingent on how sensitive you set the camera to behave. Once the alarm mode is triggered, you can further instruct the camera to upload screenshots at set intervals to an FTP server and/or e-mail you the screenshots to an e-mail address (see pictures). You absolutely do not require to be Cisco or A+ certified to get this camera to work.
EDIT: As for scheduling the motion-detector, it performs if you set it appropriately. From the web-configuration utility, click on "Alarm Service Setting." Set the sensitivity level, and so on., then check if you want to have the camera e mail you and/or take screenshots of events triggering the alarm and upload to a designated FTP server. I checked each. For the scheduler, check "Scheduler" to bring up a week calendar with hour. Click on the hours you'd like the camera to trigger its motion-detector, then press "Set". Note that the alarm mode will not go into impact following about 30 seconds soon after rebooting. I did not know this at 1st and thought this function was defunct from factory. I am guessing the camera is giving you time to evacuate the premise just before arming itself. The scheduling calendar is very cumbersome, so it's possibly much easier to just turn on or turn off the motion detector.
Also given that you have to have World-wide-web Explorer to use the ActiveX enabled internet interface, Mac users will luck out. The IE version of the internet interface makes it possible for you to record video (AVI format), take a snapshot, listen and talk through your camera, along with the capacity to command multiple cameras. It also appears that the remote on/off switch works with the ActiveX IE control interface, but doens't for the other interfaces. I have not had time to totally test them.
UPDATE two: I live in an apartment complicated exactly where I gave permission to the leasing staff to deliver packages into my apartment when I am not dwelling to sign for it. I set up the camera for motion detection and it picked up the delivery, snap a few shots and emailed to me in addition to continuously snapping shots in 5 seconds interval and uploading it to the FTP server. Merely awesome for $5x.00.
I'm so impressed with this camera I'll be buying two a lot more units, possibly in white so they can blend with the white walls.
UPDATE three: For WiFi, make confident your router is 802.11 a/b/g compatible and set at two.4ghz frequency. The IP camera will not pick up your router if it really is set at 5 ghz at N-mode only... Read more›

Beware of this cam unless your have very good network and webcam setup encounter. The directions are so poorly translated into English that it really is laughable. The setup computer software will stump you swiftly unless you know your way around network config, IP cams and the particulars of your existing house network. The included "Super Client" software appears to be a trial item that you ought to get if you want to use it longer than 1 hour per day. I don't recall any mention of that in the Amazon product descriptions. At least I can not obtain any included reg code and each and every time your run the software you are prompted to download a new version...the exact same version you just downloaded.
The cam displays really good quality video. Pan and tilt perform fine. Ftp selections are literally non-existent. For example, I need to have to ftp in the course of daylight hours only. There is no way to schedule ftp...it is either on or off. Period.
