Some people have been having trouble accessing their Foscam Wireless IP Camera using Windows 7 and IE. If you are running Windows 7 and are having trouble installing the Active X Control Module with Internet Explorer, you are probably getting an error related to the “DVM_IPCAM2 ActiveX Control Module” which states “Windows has blocked this software because it can’t verify the publisher.” If this is happening to you then you can fix it by changing your iE Internet Options as instructed here:
1) Open internet explorer, click Tools –> Internet Options.
2) Click the Security tab –> Custom Level button.
Under ActiveX ensure the following are set to enabled:
-Run ActiveX and plug-ins – Enabled
-Download Signed ActiveX Control – Enabled
-Script ActiveX controls marked as safe for scripting – Enabled
Set the following to “Prompt”:
Download unsigned ActiveX Control – Prompt
Initialize and script ActiveX controls not mark as safe – Prompt
3. Click OK and Apply and OK. Restart the browser.
The following software should work with both the Foscam FI8908W and FI904W Wireless IP Cameras which are available for sale here on our website.

This guide will assist you in setting up your Foscam IP Camera to send pictures to your Email.
1) First log in to your camera; then, if you are using Internet Explorer, click on the For Administrator tab. If you are using Firefox then click on the Device Management tab.
2) Then Select Mail Service Settings on the left side panel.
3) Here you need to input your SMTP information including username, password and SMTP server. Most ISP’s such as AOL and Roadrunner will provide you with this, however if they do not you will have to seek a 3rd party company to supply you with one. (Note: GMX, Gmail and Hotmail will not work). Then enter the sender and receiver Email address. See below for an example.
4) Click submit before you click test.
5) Now, in order to get your Motion Detection to start working you will need to log into your camera again and goto Alarm Service Settings and check the box for Motion Detect Armed.
This is the guide on setting up your wireless router to maintain a static external IP address using the DynDns.com Free Service.
In order to set up DynDns on your camera, do the following:
1) Goto the DynDns Website and start by setting up a Free Domain Name
2) Make sure to record your Username, Password, and the Hostname you have selected.
3) Now log in to your camera; if you are using Internet Explorer, click on For Administrator tab, if you are using Firefox click on the Device Management tab.
4) Then Select DDNS Service Settings and under DDNS Service select DynDns.org(dyndns)
5) Plugin your information accordingly and submit.
Your router should now maintain a static external IP address, which will be your hostname (yourrouter.dyndns-mail.com). If you have already followed our port forwarding guide you can test this by typing in your hostname into the browser and adding your cameras respective port at the end to access it.
This is the guide on setting up your IP Cameras to be able to see more than one of your cameras at a time.
Must Read: Before we even get to step one, you must first understand that the only way to view multiple cameras is if you use Internet Explorer, no other browser supports multi-devices yet. And you will also need to enable ActiveX Controls, normally Internet Explorer will prompt you to enable it if it is not already enabled. If you still have problems with ActiveX Controls, please check out our guide on ActiveX Controls by clicking here.
1) First Log into your camera and goto “For Administrator” and then “Multi-Device Settings”
2) Select “The 2nd Device” and input an Alias if you like, the Host which should be the IP of the other camera, and the Port will be the port of your other camera.
3) Put in the Username and Password for the camera you are adding and press submit.
4) You can press back (in the bottom left corner) to go back to viewing your camera, and then you can press ‘For Visitor’ and select the interface for 1, 4, or 9 Cameras.
And that is it, if you have any more cameras you can just repeat step 2 and 3 again with the new cameras info.
The port forwarding set up is reliant upon the specific brand and model number of the router being used. Port forwarding of a router is required to allow access to your network device. Regardless of the Belkin Router being used, the process for port forwarding is essentially similar. You will need to enable ports by locating the port range-forwarding screen. With most Belkin routers this screen is located within Virtual Servers option tab. The set-up instructions outlined below is an example of port forwarding using Belkin Model F5D8230-4.
Step 1.
Open you web browser. Enter the router IP address in the address bar as shown below, (192.168.2.1), then press Enter.
Step 2
Some router/modems require a username and/or password, if yours requires it, enter the routers username and password here.
Click “Submit”
If you have changed it and don’t remember it you may have to reset your device to factory default using the reset button on most routers.
Default username: (admin) and password: (n/a; blank) for Belkin routers.
Step 3
Once logged into your router click on “Firewall”
Once the page has loaded click on “Virtual Servers”
Step 4
First you want to be sure to check “Enable”

Next choose the “Type” you want to use. (For Foscam cameras we will use TCP)
Enter the Camera’s P address in “Private IP Address”
In “Private port” enter the ending ports to be forwarded.
Example: 2100-2500 (note: Inbound and outbound ports are the same)
Repeat step 5 for any more ports you want to forward.
Click on “Apply Changes”
Step 5
