Chapter V: How to View IP Camera over the Internet with
iPhone
IC-3005 series features iPhone support for iPhone users to monitor their home
using Edimax IP-Cameras.
Please check following instruction for installation. The following instruction
applies to all Edimax routers
Step1:
Ensure My-PC is Internet-ready via Router
Step 2:
Check with your ISP (Internet Service Provider) whether a Public and
fixed IP address is assigned to you. An IP address is like an unique phone
number that is totally different from all the others ‟ for calling a particular person.
You could browse the Internet or monitor your home over the Internet with
iPhone by using this unique IP address. Therefore, an unique IP address is a
Public and fixed IP address. With this, it
‟s much easy for iPhone monitoring
your home. For example, an IP address looks like numbers separated with a
dot as: 192.168.2.3
(1) Fixed and public IP address:
All IP addresses different from the following are fixed and public IP address
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
Write down this IP address and go to Step 3. In this guide, we use a hypothetic
IP address, 61.61.61.1 (yours is different)
(2) Dynamic IP address
If your ISP service staff cannot tell you what IP address is for you, you can
still monitor your home with iPhone, but it turns more complicated.
Your IP address for browsing Internet will change by hours or by days.
Over 90% chance, you may get a dynamic IP address. There is a solution
called Dynamic DNS (DDNS) for free. With this, you could register a name
like http://my-name.dyndns.org for example to find out Edimax IP camera in
the I-Phone. To apply for this, refer to the Appendix
