If you are using the program that came with the camera called multi-live. When you logon to your camera from your computer at home. You will open it and sign in. THen go to settings. From settings you can access your ip address that you need for internet address will be listed in under your settings. I am not at home so I am not able to log in right now to show you exactly where. but if you look around under your settings , i believe its under camera and click on that you should find a bunch of addresses. Just look for intranet. Hope this helps

The IP from your home network will not work away from home. To get mine to work, I registered with noip.com (free) to get a web address that points to my home network.

Steve, The camera's configuration is all web page based. If your Mac is able to display web pages, it should be able to configure the camera. If you are able to leave a network cable permanently connected between the camera and your router, if you just want to be able to view the camera remotely, the only thing that you need to do to the camera is change its default password. If you plan to view the camera remotely using an iPhone, iPad, Android device (phone or tablet), or a Windows computer using the Camera Live application, your router does not require any port forwarding capabilities. The challenge for you will be locating the camera on your network (finding the camera's current IP address) so that you can change the default password and configure the camera's wireless settings. I do not have a Mac, so I cannot confirm for certain what works for a Mac. There is a CameraSetup.dmg file in a folder named "Mac Software" on the mini-CD that is included with the camera. If your Mac has a CD autoloader, DO NOT insert the mini-CD into the autoloader - instead use another computer to save that program to a USB memory key or to email the program to your MAC. I am assuming that the Camera Setup program for the Mac works like the Camera Setup program for Windows computers. If so, the program should automatically locate the camera on your network (with the camera temporarily connected to your router with the included network cable), and allow you to configure the camera's password and/or display the web page based camera configuration pages (or live camera view). The camera ships with a "Quick Start Guide for Mac with Airport Extreme or Time Capsule Only" manual, which may be sufficient for your needs.

Try customer service. I bought this as a gift for my dad. I remember it being pretty imtuitive on setting it up in the network settings. I say try contacting Sony or keep even ask google "how do I add my smp-n200 to a VPN".

The USP over IP, 1 port, is a decent appliance, but it doesn't see everything. I wanted to be able to put my Makerbot Replicator (3D printer) in another room, I thought this would make it possible. After installing the required software and connecting the USB Over IP to my Makerbot I was disappointed to find my computer could not recognize it. I tested different items to see if it was the USB Over IP or the "end" item.. I was able to successfully use the USB Over IP to connect to USB web cams, thumb drives and TV tuner cards (as an SDR appliance.) I did not try an external hard drive. I'm sorry to say, but the only answer I can give you is "I don't know." It works for some items, not for others.

So I believe that camera talks over port 1024 do you know what I'm talking about?? Reason I say that is I set one up and only opened 1024 thru the firewall. Grab the cameras ip address and perform a port scan ending your the top of your range @ 1025 cuz there are 65k+ ports. So paper clip it it before you start in case it's messed up & let me know & will see what happens, feel free to ping me

Depends on your setup - if you have a router then it should automatically give the camera an IP address. If I remember there was an app on the CD for discover of cameras...run this and you should be able to see the IP address - something like 192.168.1.xxx. You can then type that IP address into your web browerand enter the default password etc..and you should be able to see or you can use the app on the CD.

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

I just read the book and set up my three camera with individual fixed IP addresses and individual ports, I.E. 192.168.1.20 on port 1025, 192.168.1.21 on port 1026 and 192.168.1.22 on port 1027. To reach each camera via the internet, you just have to type your IP address followed by :1025 or :1026 or :1027 (no spaces between the last digit of the IP address and the colon) Each device must have it's own individual IP address, irregardless of being wired or wireless. To reach a camera while you are on the home network just type the IP address and port number into any browser, i.e. 192.168.1.20:1025. To reach a camera from anywhere on the internet type in your ISP given IP address and add :1025 or :1026 or :1027 to view each individual camera. For the examples I used the internal IP address format of 192.168.1.XX. My internet provider's router always uses the format 192.168.1.XXX. Some ISP's use 192.168.0.XXX, so you should check the IP of any device connected to your home network to see what the IP address format is. As far as I know, these cameras are IP based devices. The have a built in web server and the only connections they support are web browsers or/and FTP. FTP is when the camera constantly uploads video to another computer via FTP (file transfer Protocol). The computer must be running FTP server software. Any Windows computer can run FTP client software. I am not a video guru, but there might be DVR recorders out there that can use ethernet connections and accept FTP, but that is out of my field. Hope this helps.

If you want to access your camera through internet remotely,IP forwarding in your router is a must. After setting, you'll no longer need to access your router in a remote location. We give Linksys for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kp-R-eHiQco&feature=related

The quick answer is 'yes'. You need to establish a 'dynamic DNS' account for your home, so when you are away, you can look at your cameras via their 'dynamic DNS name' instead of your local home network IP address. You would not be able to access a hotel router, nor would your cameras be on the hotel network anyway. Think in terms of local IP when your are at home, and dynamic DNS when you are away. It does work.

If you bought a Linksys router than call Linksys help, they are obligated to get up and running, even if you bought another brand they should do the same. There are so many setting in the camera and router that the ordinary guy can not figure it out. Maybe type in the IP address of the router, then use admin for the sign for the router, this should get to the pages that you can change settings, good luck. I have two of these cameras. They are the worse ones made. Good luck, Steve

Reset the camera to factory defaults by pressing and holding the reset switch near the camera's power jack with a paper clip for at least 15 seconds. Then upon the next power up the camera should work. As soon as you connect it to your router, your router will automatically give you an IP address. Hope this helps

Make sure to log into the camera when connected to ethernet. Once connected, set a static IP on your local LAN. you must then disconnect the ethernet cable. Power cycle the camera. you should be good to go.

Hi Jim, It all depends on how your wifi router is set up. You may have to turn on port forwarding if you want to see the camera view from outside your local network via the iPhone app. I had a bit of a hard time connecting to the camera at first, but I think that was because I had mac address filtering turned on on my wifi. Make sure you turn off mac address filtering. Once you find the camera on your wifi network you will have to configure the emaill setting if you would like it to email you a picture when it detects motion. You can see things live through the camera, but it doesn't really record video it just takes some images that it can email to you or upload to a server via ftp. If you are looking for a video recording camera, this probably isn't the product for you. Fell free to hit me back with any other questions and I'll try to answer them to the best of my knowledge. -Jack

When you are in the same room you are on the same local network. To access the camera from a distance you have to set up your router to forward the port (it defaults to 80 which some service providers block, so I switch mine to 82-89. Also most ISPs use dynamic IP addresses which means your IP address can change over time. I use a service like dyndns.org to provide a consistent URL. I have these cameras set up in Las Vegas and monitor them from Chicago all of the time.

I use it with my computer on a IP connection. It also quit working and the company said The camera comes with 1 year warranty, so you still can get a replacement please pay for 40% depreciation charge. I will never buy from this company again.

You rock man for posting this! what happen with me is that I attached a Wii to the network and it took the printer's IP address! Making the Ip address of the printer static is the key. This way, my computers aren't knocking on the addresses of other devices looking for the printer! :)Thanks again!
