into
Airport
Utility
and
double-‐click
the
base
station
on
which
you
want
to
set
up
port
forwarding.
You
need
to
know
what
the
MAC
address
is
for
your
Foscam,
so
make
sure
it
is
turned
on
and
connected
wirelessly
to
your
network.
Once
you
have
confirmed
this,
go
to
Advanced
and
click
the
Logging
and
Statistics
button.
Under
the
DHCP
Clients
tab,
find
the
entry
for
your
Foscam.
It’ll
look
something
like
ipcam_000xxx.
Write
down
the
MAC
address
in
its
entirety.
You
may
need
to
resize
the
MAC
Address
column
to
see
all
the
letters
and
numbers.
Next,
go
to
the
Internet
tab
and
select
the
DHCP
sub-‐tab.
This
is
where
you
will
set
up
a
DHCP
Reservation
for
the
MAC
address
of
your
Foscam.
As
you
can
see,
I
have
several
DHCP
reservations
for
my
computers
already,
including
my
foscam
(which
I’ve
highlighted).
You
probably
won’t
have
anything
yet.
Click
the
+
to
add
a
reservation.
Note
that
I’m
using
192.168.10.x
in
my
internal
network.
I
have
DHCP
start
handing
out
addresses
at
10
because
I
use
addresses
1-‐9
internally
for
some
computers
with
static
IP
addresses.
You
don’t
need
to
worry
about
this
at
all;
the
Airport
Utility
is
smart
enough
to
help
you
make
the
right
decisions
when
you
set
up
your
reservations
so
that
you
won’t
mess
up
your
network.
Enter
a
description,
and
select
“Reserve
address
by
MAC
Address”
Enter
the
MAC
address
for
your
Foscam,
which
you
wrote
down
earlier.
Make
sure
to
get
it
exactly
right,
and
enter
the
colons
in
between
the
alphanumeric
pairs.
Below
the
MAC
address,
enter
the
IP
address
you
want
to
reserve
for
the
Foscam.
Airport
Utility
will
automatically
fill
in
the
subnet
for
you
(the
first
three
numbers
separated
by
dots);
all
you
have
to
do
is
choose
the
last
few
digits.
I
used
the
digits
.12
for
my
Foscam,
but
you
can
enter
any
number
you
like.
There
are
a
few
reserved
addresses
such
as
.1)
but
the
Airport
Utility
will
help
you
out
here.
If
you
are
on
a
different
subnet,
the
first
three
numbers
might
be
different
from
mine.
They
might
be
10.0.x.x
or
172.16.x.x;
don’t
worry
If
they
are
different
from
what
I
have,
it
doesn’t
matter.
On
the
next
screen
you
have
to
select
the
port
mapping.
You
can
select
Personal
Web
Sharing
from
the
drop-‐down
and
it
will
automatically
fill
in
port
80
as
the
public
port
and
port
80
as
the
private
port.
What
does
this
mean?
The
public
port
is
the
port
on
your
external
router’s
IP
address
that
you’ll
want
to
hit
when
you
are
away
from
home.
So,
if
the
public
port
value
is
80
and
your
router’s
public
IP
is
1.2.3.4,
you
would
go
to
http://1.2.3.4
(or
http://1.2.3.4:80
if
you
wanted
to
specify
the
port
number
explicitly).
The
private
port
is
the
port
on
the
Foscam
that
the
router
will
try
to
connect
the
requests
to
your
router’s
public
IP
and
port
over
to.
Think
of
this
like
wiring
up
a
stereo
and
connecting
the
source
device
to
the
destination:
the
source
is
your
router’s
public
IP/port
and
the
destination
is
the
Foscam’s
private
IP/port.
Since
your
Foscam
has
its
web
server
running
on
port
80,
you’ll
want
to
leave
the
value
of
the
private
port
set
to
80.
NOTE:
For
the
purposes
of
this
tutorial
and
to
keep
to
things
simple,
I
am
using
port
80
on
your
router’s
public
TCP
port.
However,
I
don’t
recommend
that
you
do
this.
Lots
of
dumb
Internet
bots
will
scan
IP
addresses
looking
for
common
open
ports
such
as
80,
22,
etc.
Once
these
bots
get
connected,
they
try
to
break
into
the
service
running
on
those
ports.
Worst
case,
this
means
your
Foscam
might
get
hacked.
Although
it’s
not
that
much
more
secure
to
do
what
I’m
about
to
suggest,
you
can
defeat
a
lot
of
these
stupid
bots
by
just
selecting
a
random
public
port,
like
8000.
If
you
do
this,
and
your
router’s
IP
address
was
1.2.3.4,
you’d
need
to
connect
to
http://1.2.3.4:8000
to
get
to
the
right
external
port,
which
your
router
would
then
map
to
port
80
on
the
Foscam.
For
now,
leave
the
public
pot
on
80
until
you
get
it
all
working
–
you
can
always
go
back
and
change
it
later.
On
the
next
screen,
enter
a
name
for
your
port
mapping.
Once
you’re
done,
you
should
see
something
like
this.
Press
the
Update
button
and
wait
for
your
router
to
restart,
and
for
the
Foscam
to
reconnect.
You
can
check
to
see
if
the
Foscam
is
connected
by
going
to
the
Logs
and
Statistics
view
(like
we
did
earlier)
and
confirming
that
the
wireless
client
“ipcam_000”
(or
whatever
your
Foscam
was
called)
is
connected.
Go
to
the
main
page
of
your
router,
and
find
the
IP
Address
value
at
the
very
bottom.
Mine
is
set
to
97.100.[hidden].[hidden]
Copy
the
IP
address
exactly
and
paste
it
into
the
location
bar
in
your
browser.
Since
we
used
port
80,
which
is
the
default
HTTP
port,
your
browser
will
open
your
router’s
public
IP
on
port
80.
The
router
will
then
receive
the
request,
and
map
the
router’s
public
port
80
to
port
80
on
the
internal
IP
for
your
Foscam.
The
internal
IP
for
your
Foscam
should
now
be
static
on
your
internal
network
since
you
set
up
a
DHCP
reservation
for
it
earlier.
Congratulations,
you’re
done.
Now,
go
back
and
change
the
default
public
port
on
your
router’s
IP
from
80
to
something
else.
You
can
test
your
changes
the
same
way
that
you
did
just
now
by
adding
your
custom
port
number
to
your
router’s
IP
when
you
enter
the
IP
into
your
browser.
I.e.
http://[router’s
public
IP
address]:[router’s
public
port
in
the
port
mapping]
One
last
note:
the
Foscam
web
interface
has
absolutely
no
security
at
all.
It
uses
something
called
“HTTP
Basic
Authorization”
which
sends
your
username
and
password
in
the
clear.
The
worst
thing
that
can
happen
is
that
somebody
might
sniff
your
username
and
password
and
use
it
to
administrate
your
webcam,
which
probably
isn’t
the
end
of
the
world.
However,
since
the
Foscam
is
so
incredibly
insecure,
and
anybody
with
a
child’s
understanding
of
packet
tracing
will
be
able
to
snoop
your
administrative
credentials,
I
highly
recommend
that
you
always
use
username/password
combinations
for
your
Foscam
users
that
you
don’t
use
anywhere
else
(i.e.
on
your
email,
computers,
anywhere).
