All the manufacturers of these dinky IP Cam has no longer rumplagen with Windoze set us a rotten egg in the nest. Once a network cable I anstöpselte the small cam on my Mac and a few of the commonly used in similar devices network settings tried doing just nothing. So I turned my network environment as an I with an IP Scanner crawled times a somewhat larger address space. After my sumptuous breakfast of Olle scanner has still found nothing. No problem I thought, fragste halt colleagues Google. The spat promptly from an English documentation. There was specified as factory setting 192.168.1.99:99, but had my scanner already scanned several times without result. There's something fishy
Here is my way to the Config:
- (No matter what system, the main thing with working network connection) miss the computer an IP address range in the 192.168.1 - eg 192.168.1.5
- The little fucking Wanscam mains supply (of course with the included AC adapter!)
Connect network cable between the computer and IP Cam -
- Wait until the cam is powered up (the first moves horizontally and vertically from their area and then flashes green before)
- Hold the reset button down for several seconds in the Cam tidy (I bent to an ordinary paper clip)
- After the button is released, the camera starts again with their factory settings
- I have again fired up my IP scanner and immediately spat me these faithful piece of soft goods in addition to my own IP (192.168.1.5), a second of which inevitably had to be the Olle camera because the network cable as a sausage has 2 ends and my WLAN was deactivated as a precaution
- The IP of the stubborn Cam was with me 192.168.1.63
- From the foreign-language document, I knew that the Chinese Wanscam on port 99 is listening
- Now enter the browser in the address bar 192.168.1.63:99 and at the same time asks the little bitch to the login data, so it is soon managed
- At the bottom of the IP Cam are the login data, so enter admin in the input field as a user and the password field blank, then press ENTER and you're there!
- UNIX, Linux and Mac users and all other detractors of the infamous browser from Redmond now select the server push mode and can finally set up the small East Asian camera pretty comfortable
- When finally a camera image is visible you will find the configuration menu on the bottom right, the icon with the tool ... - fun
Now I have the thing nicely decorated and in conjunction with nem IPhone gives a prima baby monitor with live image and email alert, even if you sit at a neighbor.
And do not be surprised that the camera something strange colors delivers, which is infrared sensitive and provides the built-in IR LEDs that automatically turn on when it is dark at night what. If the manufacturer would now installing an IR cut filter for a more natural color reproduction it was over with the night vision capability. I have to mention here just once as in many other reviews for similar equipment, the strange color reproduction is criticized. I only say: "Ent or not"
