Customer Critiques


The camera I got was branded EasyN, but the box art shown on the product information page matches the box I got. Some individuals claim they have Foscam, Apexis, Hootoo, and so on. brand, but I believe it's the similar camera branded in various brands to accommodate distinct markets. I admit, it would Help if you are tech savvy or at least have some expertise in network configuration to expedite the set up and get the camera running, but that's not required. This camera is not specifically the most fool-proof camera in the industry, 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-assessment, semi-how-to for this awesome IP camera seeing the need to have for an instruction for Mac users. Very first of all, I am a Mac user running on OS X ten.7.2 Lion and I got this negative boy up and running within an hour. For all you Mac users out there, you will need to have to have temporary access to a Windows machine.
If you don't have a Windows machine, see UPDATE 4 at the finish of this critique - then follow actions 3 and forward. I am writing this assessment under the presumption that the typical user has no information of MAC access control list or WiFi DHCP client table from your router to set-up the camera it through WiFi. You require it to run the application that allows you to detect and configure the camera's IP. Unfortunately, this application is written for Windows only. But that is all you need a Windows machine for. As soon as you configure the camera's IP address to operate with your LAN, then you can use the net interface and configure a complete sleuth of other options, like the alarm feature, FTP, Mail and other. So with out adieu, let's do this!
I've taken screenshots to assist accommodate the mini guide beneath. So check out the user-submitted pictures for 7+ pictures I've added for directions on how to proceed. The instruction is for connecting the camera to a LAN - I chose this route simply because my WiFi network is secured more than numerous layers of security (Sonic Wall fire wall, MAC manage, etc.) and it's just a lot easier to get the cam up and operating by means of the LAN.
.) Connect your IP camera to your LAN by way of ethernet and plug in the power supply.
1.) Get access to a Windows machine. I dual-booted to Windows Vista by way of Boot Camp. Make positive this Windows machine has access to your LAN.
two.) Run the application with the file name, DevFind.exe - you can discover it in the directory, /EasyN F2 series IP camera installation CD/software program. My included install disc was a blank CD-R disc! so I had to download the CD content material ZIP from the manufacturer's internet site: "easyntech . com / ShowDownload . asp ? id = 34" you can download the manuals in PDF format from the web-site as well).
three.) 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 ought to be indicated in a silver sticker situated underneath the camera. The similar sticker can also be located on the exterior of the box. Essentially, the default IP ought to be one thing along the line of 192 . 168 . 1 . 126 and access port 81 (it could be diverse). Given 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. Understand me so far? When you got that down, click on the "APPLY" button to make the changes.
four.) Click on the "Others" tab beneath the Gear Specifics field. Take note of the info situated in the "MAC" field, it ought to be a 12 letter/number string of characters.
five.) If you have access controlled enabled in your router, then follow this step. If not, you can skip. What access manage means is you only permit specific network devices permission to connect to your LAN. Even if the connecting client knows your WEP/WPA/WPA2 password, they nevertheless will not be able to connect to your Wi-Fi unless their device is registered to the access manage list. The exclusive identifier of the network device is its MAC address. If you have this enabled, then add the camera's MAC address you have just jotted down in the preceding step to your router's access control list. The convention should be XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX 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 immediately after entering. If you have the means to reserve IP address designation on your router, I would do so. Considering 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 most certainly will need to port-forward your camera if you program to remote view from outside. In your router setup, go to the "Port Forwarding" page - it is ordinarily below "Advanced setup" or a thing related. Since I assigned the camera a custom port of 310, I would enter the port range starting and ending at 310 to be forwarded to the camera's IP address of 192 . 168 . . 155 .
7.) Subsequent, you need to be able to punch in the IP address and port quantity you have assigned to the camera as noted on step three onto your internet browser and launch the internet-based utility app e.g. http:// 192 . 168 . . 155:310. When you 1st try to access the camera via a net browser, it will ask you for a username and a password. This info is located underneath the camera and also on the box. It really is often "admin" for the username and a blank password, but double check your equipment.
8.) Pick the viewing technique if you are working with IE choose the 1st link, if you're applying Firefox, pick the second link, etc.
9.) View your camera, control it, and so on
10.) Click on the Choices 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, etc.
12.) If you want to view your camera from remote (i.e. outside of your dwelling network), assuming you have a static IP, then you will need to punch in your ISP assigned IP address, followed by your port. You can obtain out your ISP assigned address by going into your router and searching at the data situated in the "simple 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 positive to update the DDNS area of the web utility with the suitable login credential to your dynamic DNS provider.
I am operating on the wireless LAN setup, so I'll edit this critique as soon as I have a sure fire way to set it up so I can append a uncomplicated how-to to assist people get started. Any question, just comment. Once more, this is from a Mac OS X Lion 10.7.two 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 web-based interface to view the camera. It works like a charm so far. The camera's pan and tilt function is SUPER fast. Of course, that's considering that I set it at the fastest level you can set it according to your taste. You can set up the Alarm feature so that its motion detector can pick up motion contingent on how sensitive you set the camera to behave. When 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 want to be Cisco or A+ certified to get this camera to operate.
EDIT: As for scheduling the motion-detector, it operates if you set it properly. From the net-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 won't go into influence after about 30 seconds immediately after rebooting. I did not know this at initial 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 rather cumbersome, so it is in all probability much easier to just turn on or turn off the motion detector.
Also considering the fact that you need 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 will allow you to record video (AVI format), take a snapshot, listen and speak by way of your camera, along with the potential to command several cameras. It also appears that the remote on/off switch works with the ActiveX IE manage interface, but doens't for the other interfaces. I haven't had time to totally test them.
UPDATE 2: I live in an apartment complex 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 couple of shots and emailed to me in addition to continuously snapping shots in five seconds interval and uploading it to the FTP server. Merely amazing for $5x.00.
I'm so impressed with this camera I'll be buying two a great deal 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 choose up your router if it is set at 5 ghz at N-mode only... Read more›

Beware of this cam unless your have good network and webcam setup encounter. The directions are so poorly translated into English that it's laughable. The setup software program will stump you speedily unless you know your way around network config, IP cams and the particulars of your current home network. The included "Super Client" computer software appears to be a trial item that you ought to invest in if you want to use it longer than one particular hour per day. I don't recall any mention of that in the Amazon item descriptions. At least I cannot come across any included reg code and every time your run the computer software you are prompted to download a new version...the identical version you just downloaded.
The cam displays great quality video. Pan and tilt perform fine. Ftp choices are actually non-existent. For instance, I will need to ftp throughout daylight hours only. There is no way to schedule ftp...it's either on or off. Period.
