If you can see on the ip camera software the IP address of camera, please go to Step 3. Step 2: Set a proper IP address for camera. The first three numbers of camera’s IP address are the same as router which the camera is connected. The last number is between 1~255 and it’s unique on this network. Sub-net mask is 255.255.255.0. IP Camera Tool MJPEG cameras marked 'M' behind LAN IP,H.264 cameras marked 'H' behind LAN IP. For MJPEG cameras and H.264 cameras.
Overview: This article will introduce the procedure on how to set up a Foscam camera with a static IP Address.
Step 1: Find the Gateway IP Address (Router’s LAN IP)
• The Router’s LAN IP address is the gateway of the network; normally this can be found on a label usually underneath or on the back of the router.
• If the default IP address of the router was changed navigate to this article to find it.

• In this example, the test router’s LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1
In this case the camera can be setup with the IP address of
192.168.1.100 (the last numbers of the address can be changed between a range of 2-253)
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (routers LAN IP, same as the computer’s gateway)
DNS server: 8.8.8.8 (or the same as the gateway)
Step 2:
Setup a static IP address on the camera.
1) Method one: Use a camera WEB page
Setup a static IP address under the Basic Network Settings page on the camera web page
Note: Remember to click “Save” or “Submit” after the information has been entered.
2) Method two: Use the IP Camera Tool/Equipment Search Tool
• Launch the IP Camera Tool/Equipment Search Tool
• After the program launches all the Foscam products found on the network should be listed (note: disable all virtual network drivers as they will interfere with proper operation of this program.)
• Find the appropriate camera and right click it.
• Navigate to Network Configuration and uncheck the check box for “Obtain IP from Server”
• Input the IP Settings and the camera’s username and password. Once this is completed click OK.

Pre-paration:
1.(Skip this step if the camera is already configured and verified as connected to the network.) Apply power to the camera and connect it to the router via an ethernet cable.
2.Verify that the camera and the computer are connected to the same network.
Step 1: Download and install the Equipment Search Tool (skip this step of the software is already installed)
Official download site: http://www.foscam.com/download-center/software-tools.html
Note: Two tools are available one for Windows based computers and one for MacOS
Step 2: Run the Equipment Search Tool software on the computer.
Any Foscam cameras connected to the network will be displayed in the Window.
Note the IP Address of the camera that is to be configured.
Note: On a Windows based computer be sure to disable any virtual network drivers that may be installed. They will interfere with the Equipment Search Tool and prevent it from accessing the LAN. If you are unable to see any Foscam products check for these drivers under the Device Manager.
This type of driver is installed by Oracle Virtual Box.

Double clicking on the IP address of the camera will open the default web browser. On a Windows based computer be sure that Microsoft Edge, IE, Chrome or Firefox is used. On MacOS be sure to use Safari. Disable any Pop Up Blockers that may be running or it will interfere with the interface to the camera.
Step 3: If manually launching a web browser enter the IP address and port number for the camera.

During a first-time login situation, you will be prompted to enter a new username and password for the camera. Be sure to notate this information somewhere for future reference.
Step 4: Continue to configure or use the camera as desired.From the example above to login to the FN3109H camera enter the following line.
http://192.168.15.23:88
Press the Enter key.
The login page for the camera should appear on the browser window.
Enter the username and password for the camera. If this is the first time the camera is being logged into the default username is Admin followed by a blank password.
