Can’t see camera after power loss.

On June 13, 2010, in HOW TO Set-Up Your Router, IP CAMERA - Wired and Wireless, ROUTERS - Basic Information, by scastle
1

The power went out for a minute and when it came back on I could not see video from my camera. After searching through my settings I discovered the problem. I had recently disabled my SSID broadcast.  To reconnect to the camera I had to update my DDNS connection. That fixed the problem immediately. I tested the scenario again by unplugging the camera myself and achieved the same results. I could not see the camera until I updated the DDNS in the router again. Then I turned the SSID broadcast back on. The camera automatically reconnected with no work on my part. I tested it a few times and everytime it reconnected. Problem solved.

To view your cameras over the internet you will need to set up a DynDNS account. This is an easy process that does not take long. In short, this process gives your cameras their own web address so you can see them. All you need to do is subscribe to a free service such as DynDNS.com and follow the set up steps. *Importatnt tip – The DynDNS.com FREE service works perfect as long as you log in at least once every 30 days. But of course that will not be a problem when you are logging in to watch your EZ Network Cams everyday.*

When you  log in to the DynDNS.com website you will want to follow these simple steps.

  1. Choose a name for your site
  2. Choose Service Type:@host with ip address
  3. Enter the ip address shown on the page
  4. Create a User Name and Password
  5. Check your E-mail and confirm Registration
  6. Your Done!
  7. Keep this information handy for setting up your router and EZ Network Cams.
