how do I view the camera from a remote site? I must have missed a step in the setup and I am no longer at the physical location of the camera.

1. If you do not have a fixed IP address did you set up DDNS? 2. If you have some at your camera site with access to a PC you can test if port forwarding is working by using www.canyouseeme.com. Just enter the port number you allocated to the camera and the web site will tell you if the port is open. 3. If the port is not open then you have not configured your router correctly. You have set a static internal IP address for the camera otherwise it could change if the camera restarts. 4. I assume you allocated a port number to the camera. You have to setup port forwarding so when traffic arrives at the allocated port it is redirected to the correct internal IP address. Thus the importance of a static internal IP address. 5. If everything else works then you need to check the firewall in the router to ensure it does not block inbound traffic on the port you have selected. You cannot resolve this remotely unless you have remote access to a PC on the same network as the camera or somebody at the camera location who can check your settings. I hope this helps.

These answers are wrong. You do not need internet access and can view the cameras using local (LAN) IP addresses.

The camera feed can be viewed directly by IP address over an internal network even without Internet access. The Android and iPhone mydlink Lite apps have a "Local" devices option that will show the camera feed provided the phone is connected to the same wireless network (i.e.: WiFi, not 3G\4G cellular). A computer or network video recorder on the same network will be able to record video from the camera as well. Obviously, remote live viewing will not work if Internet access is not available to the camera.

This digital camera is effectively a computer system on your network. To view it, you need to connect to it through a wireless or ethernet router (wifi or ethernet cable). Basic viewing can be done from your browser, where you provide an IP address and port in your browser ocation bar: for example, http://143.223.57.21:8086. If you're looking for a direct connection to, say, a TV set or computer monitor, you'll need a different type of camera, such as a CCTV camera (power and video carried over standard cable) or an analog signal wireless video camera (power carried over AC-to-12v adapter, video sent wirelessly, usually at 2.4 or 4.8 Ghz, to a small antenna unit plugged into a DVR, TV or computer monitor).

connect the camera via LAN (hardwired) cable to your router first. You should have DHCP setup on your router to auto assign the IP address. I had this same problem even using the LAN cable, had to return it and never bought another one. I bought a DLINK instead.

I agree. The site is down. However, my C601 P2P is still working. One a month, I reboot my PC the reestablish a link the the camera. You might try that. lock219

Use the foscam viewer app and download it for free from app store. You dont need port forwarding to view within the same network connected to the camera.

Con Sumer, I wish I could be more help, but this camera was a gift to my wife, and she is Chinese, I do know you are limited to 20 min. for video. As far as the remote view finder not sure on that, or we do not have that option. we only can start the recording by pressing the shoot button on the camera itself.

Yes you can. With cameras setup on network and app on phone, or through website you can view remotely.

You can.That's basically how I set mine up.Call foscam support if you get stuck anywhere.Some find the portforwarding settings a bit confusing. Just fyi. Support is very helpful, they can remote access your pc if need be.

You need to learn about port forwarding. On your router, you need to go to it's web sight and open up certain ports and then set up your IP camera to use that port. It took me awhile to learn but look up some articles on port forwarding. Or go to the routers manufacture web sight. It should show you how to use port forwarding , It's the only way to see your camera from the internet anywhere. I look at my cameras with my Iphone. I't looks easy now , but took awhile to set it up right .

I didn't know the answer but researched the question and found this. You can download software for this camera here http://downloadsneto.com/d/. Don't know if it'll help, but if I were to lose my setup cd, I'd try it.

Hi Jennifer, This is not a wireless camera system. It still need wires to let the whole system work. If you want to do remote view, you need to set up the DDNS. Will that answer your questions? Do you have any other questions? Thank you, and have a nice day : ) Guardian Electronic Service

If you mean to set up the details of how the camera works? YES. Im a little technical and this camera is not a simple plug and play. I have yet to figure out how to get it to work on wi-fi so I have it plugged into ethernet and still have some kinks to work out. The quality of the day/night viewing is amazing and it basically works as a IP Camera. I think im going to buy some different software as I cant seem to get the record to work well.

Like most dslr cameras the remote or sensor is in the front (left of lens under the shutter button) of the camera. Depending on your remote angle that is where you have to aim for. You can use a small mirror to reflect the ir beam too. Good luck!
