Your Computer’s IP Address

ReCam has a tool to determine your computer's internal and external IP addresses. Internal IP address can be
used to connect to the computer inside a local area network. External IP address is used to connect to the
computer from the Internet. Usually, a computer has different external and internal IP addresses, because the
external IP addresses is established by your Internet service provider.

Testing Camera Accessibility from the Internet

This procedure helps you to determine the reason your camera is not visible to your viewers from the Internet.

The testing procedure performs the following tasks:

Testing that the computer is connected to a network and that an Internet connection is enabled.

The program checks that the HTTP server for the selected camera is launched.

Next, the program checks that the Default Web Page is presented in the Server Folder. You can use the
Web Page Creation Wizard to create this web page.

After this step, the program tests that the Dynamic IP Service is enabled. Dynamic IP Service allows your
web camera to have a permanent address on the Internet.

Final step: the program sends requests to the www.getmobi.com server. The server pings back to the
computer with a test HTTP packet. If the server receives a valid answer from your computer, the test is
done successfully.

To perform the camera accessibility testing

Click Testing Accessibility from Internet from the Tools menu.

Select a camera to test and then press the Next button.
