If you fail to make a wireless connection, please refer to your seller or contact us directly for
assistance.
4.2 WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Set-up)
WPS allows you to set up wireless connectivity automatically if you have a WPS-compatible router. The
WPS button on the Foscam camera is shared with the reset button. Use the small end of a paperclip or a
toothpick to press and hold the RESET button for four seconds and let go.
Next, press the WPS button on your router within 60 seconds. The WPS button is usually on the back
or on the side of your router. On some routers, you may need to log in to the web interface and click on
an on-screen button to activate the WPS feature. If you are not sure where the WPS button is on your
router, please refer to your router’s User Manual.
The camera will automatically create a secure wireless connection to your router. If you have plugged in
the network cable, you can disconnect it at this time. While connecting, the green network light will blink
quickly and the wireless settings will take effect. The IP Camera Tool will search for the camera’s LAN IP
address. Make sure that the PC and the camera share the same subnet.
NOTE: When setting up the WPS Settings, you must press the Reset button only for four seconds, or
else the camera may reset itself back to factory default settings if you press and hold the reset button for
10 seconds or more.
For WPS, the security mode of the router can not be WEP, or else the WPS settings may fail.
5. Remote Access Setup
We have been able to access the camera within the LAN network, and have set up a wireless connection,
but how do we access the camera via WAN or from outside networks through the internet to view from
anywhere in the world or on our smart phones?
