6.10 – MSN Settings
This feature allows you to chat to your camera to find out the current IP address it is running at. To do
this, enter the MSN Settings page in the camera as seen below:
The first two fields are the username and password you will give to the camera. The camera will be
logged on at all times to this specific username on MSN Messenger. Because of this, it is recommended
to create a new username specifically for the camera.
The MSN Friends List allows contact between the camera and yourself or any other accounts. Input as
many MSN contacts here as needed. Any contacts listed here will be able to chat to the camera and ask
for the camera’s URL, so take note of this.
Once the username, password, and contacts are listed, push Submit.
Next, you can open MSN Messenger on your computer, and log into your account. In this example, we
would be logging into “example2@foscam.us.”
Once logged in, the username the camera is logged in with will appear in the friends or contacts list. In
our example, it would be the username associated with “example1@foscam.us.” You can then open a
chat with the camera’s username, and type “url?”
Once you send this chat, the camera will send back the URL of the camera to you.
