Hi All, I have just received my incredibly cheap HW0043 Wanscam IP camera and have got it half working however if there is anyone that can help me get it fully working I would be even more happy.
I plugged it into my router with the supplied ethernet cable and firstly had a look at the phone app. I scanned the QR code and put in my network password and there it was, up and running and without doing any more i can simply plug the power in with no ethernet and view the camera on my android phone and also on my iPad . . which is going to be its main use as I work from a home office in the garden and i can see who is at the front door.
The issue is I cannot get access to the camera from any web browser on my Mac laptop or desktop. When i use terminal to see all connected devises on my network i get one set of ip addresses (192.168.0.1 etc) but nothing showing the camera. when i ping the "ipcamera" name i get a different ip address (81.200.64.50) but when i try that ip address from a browser i cant see it, I have tried hitting various ports such as 80, 99 and 100 but nothing as yet. Im not a network / ip expert so if anyone can guide me on how i can get into the camera from a browser it would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Tony.
