Service / FTP) issues. Most of the setup steps below are camera related and are very trivial. If you have finished these basic steps before, then you can skip Steps 1 and 2. Step 1: Connect camera to the network and find IP address 1.1 Connect camera to the network There are 2 or 3 ways to connect the IP camera to the Wi-Fi network. Please read the product manual for detailed instructions. (1) If your Wi-Fi router does not support WPS, then you can connect the camera with the router using an Ethernet cable first. You can configure the Wi-Fi settings in the camera's configuration pages later. This method works for Foscam C1 and C2W. The C1 Lite model does not support wired connection. You can use manufacturer's app to connect it to the network. (2) If your Wi-Fi access point/router supports WPS, then it is very easy to connect your device to the network. Turn on the camera and press the WPS button on your Wi-Fi access point (router) for 3 seconds; the WPS button will usually start flashing. Next, quickly press the WPS button on your camera. In about 1 minute, you will see the network light (above the red power light) change to slow flashing green, indicating it is connected to the wireless router. Foscam C1 and C2W can automatically disconnect Wi-Fi when you connect a network cable and it will keep the same IP address; and if you unplug the Ethernet cable, Wi-Fi will be re-enabled and keep the same IP address. 1.2 Find the Camera’s IP Address Please refer to the manufacturer’s manual for more detailed information. Usually you will run the included IP Camera Search Tool to find the camera. If your computer does not have a DVD/CD drive, then you can use CameraFTP VSS software or CameraFTP Camera Configuration Tool to find the camera's IP address (without using other cloud recording features). If your camera is connected to the Wi-Fi router, or if you have connected the camera with a router using an Ethernet cable, you can run the manufacturer’s setup program to find the camera’s IP address. From a PC in the same network, insert the camera’s software CD. Browse the content of the CD and run IPCamSetup.exe, it will install the necessary software for the camera.

Finished these basic steps before, then you can skip Steps 1 and 2. Step 1: Connect camera to the network and find IP address 1.1 Connect camera to the network If you want to use wired connection, you just need to connect the Ethernet cable. Otherwise, there are several ways to connect the IP camera to your Wi-Fi network. Please read the product manual for detailed instructions. (1) If your Wi-Fi router does not support WPS, then you can connect the camera with the router using an Ethernet cable first. You can configure the Wi-Fi settings in the camera's configuration pages later. For Wi-Fi only cameras, you must use manufacturer's mobile app to connect it to the network. (2) If your Wi-Fi access point/router supports WPS, then it is very easy to connect your device to the network. Turn on the camera and press the WPS button on your Wi-Fi access point (router) for 3 seconds; the WPS button will usually start flashing. Next, quickly press the WPS button on your camera.

Usually you will run the included IP Camera Search Tool to find the camera. If your computer does not have a DVD/CD drive, then you can download CameraFTP VSS software to find the camera's IP address. ( After you find the camera's IP address, you can stop / uninstall VSS. Note: This camera is compatible with VSS-based Cloud Recording. You can use VSS as a cloud-enabled NVR, which requires a PC. ) Some Wansview IP cameras (e.g. NCM620W) use a static IP address as the default IP address. If the default static IP address is not in the same subnet as the PC (e.g. if the default camera IP address is 192.168.0.168, and the PC's IP address is 192.168.1.101), then VSS cannot find the camera. In this case, you must use the manufacturer's IP search tool to find the camera and then change it to use dynamic IP address (DHCP).
