short installation guide:
- Insert the network cable
- Plug Power
- Boot from CD Search Program and Setting the IP address and port
Select IP address and port -
- User: admin PW: 123456
- Change settings
- If you want to switch to Wi-Fi, then it must necessarily be set "IP address automatically". This has the reason that the router is often noted IPs. That is, when the CAM was first associated with a fixed IP remembers the router and when the CAM then the wireless module will connect (run under entirely different device for a router), he complains, because the IP already for the LAN "reserved" module. Once the IP is obtained automatically, a fixed IP can be set both directly to the WLAN.
- Actually everything works very well. Except for when adjusting the mail server. web.de my email I can not configure and therefore I simply set me a gmail address. Now runs
- Firmware Update: Since the web interface is more than ugly, I have carried out an update.
- Wansview has on the official website any updates (at least none have been found)
- Just search Foscam driver download and take the drivers for the devices: FI8910W.FI8918W
FI8916W.FI8910E
- The Wansview s supposed to be identical. Updated belongings and everything works
- IMPORTANT: Firmware upgrade first then only the web interface
- Before all gray now blue. Arrows have not work for me now they work.
- Motion detection is quite nice, but annoying if ever receive an email for every little bit. Maybe I'm considering even to an FTP.
- IR reflected against the windowpane, then, what to use only in the house.
- Colors ok, at room light, the colors look unnatural ever.
- There are 3 views can be selected if the IP is selected via the Explorer:
- ActiveX -> PRIMARILY for Internet Explorer designed to send and receive signals? I do receive has worked for me, do not send
- Server Push Mode -> mainly somewhat limited for other Explorer features but still adjust almost everything
- Mobile Phone -> quite slimmed down, self-explanatory
- Group control possible. Admin, Guest and Visitor with each utnerschiedlichen permissions and views
- Watching, when you log it can happen that the password is in the address bar in clear text above -> ugly (PHP)
- In the new firmware also telephoned nothing forcing function due to the DDNS to China. have at any rate found nothing
- Vision at night I find really great. One sees much in the room. Habs not tried how far the infrared rays on nem farm or similar.
All in all, the device is worth the price. Anyone who wants to play around a bit rule and no perfect resolution / color awaits, will be satisfied.
For me, the firmware update was worth. Give but no guarantee! At worst, as an update to make the camera inoperable! Can only speak from my experience and in my case it worked.
