Foscam Digital Technologies LLC FI8918W Quick Installation Guide http://192.168.1.103:80, with a colon and 80 at the end, it will default back to http://192.168.1.103. This is because it is understood that any time you are entering an IP address without a colon and port number at the end, it is defaulting to port 80 no matter what, so the colon and port 80 are taken out of the end of the link because of this. It is recommended to change port 80 to a different port, usually in the 4 digit range. The reason for this is because some other devices, such as your router, also share port 80. If this is the case you may experience slow speeds on the camera, or you may not even be able to connect at all. It is best to assign a specific port to your camera so that only your camera is using that specified port number. We usually suggest changing your port to 8080, 8090, or any type of 4 digit number, just as long as it is not at port 80. You can set the port anywhere between 1000 and 20000. How do you assign a new HTTP port and a Static Local IP Address? Open the IP Camera Tool, and select the camera you would like to change the port for. Right click on the IP address, and click on "Network Configuration", this brings up the network configuration box as shown: Select which camera you'd like to change the port for, and right click. Click on "Network Configuration" Modify the HTTP Port to a four digit number other than 80. Enter the Username and Password, and then click OK. Changing the port in IP Camera Tool -9-
