Accessing via 3GPP Mobile Phone
You can access your IP camera via 3GPP-compatible mobile phones when the IP camera has a stable internet
connection and the mobile device has a good connection on GPRS or to 3G network. There are several
prerequisites which need to be met before using the 3GPP function successfully.
1. User should turn on the 2nd stream of the IP camera and set the resolution as QQVGA, FPS as 5, codec
as MPEG-4 and set a medium bit rate for Quality. In addition, after enabling the 2nd stream, you will
notice a drop in the frame rate for the primary stream. This is a normal behavior since the camera
system has to process two streams instead of just one.
2. User needs to make use of DDNS function and obtain a valid Dynamic DNS (DDNS) address.
3. Ensure that an active internet connection is available for both the IP camera and the intended mobile
phone.
4. Port forwarding on the network router to which your IP camera is connected must be congured in
order to enable remote viewing on your IP camera.
Having taken above actions, enter the following address into the address eld of your mobile web browser

DDNS address that you’ve obtained in the installation process).
Note:
Storex does not guarantee the successful viewing of live video on every
3GPP-compatible cell phone. You may also need to consult with the
mobile network service provider about the usage and availability of
3GPP format.
