Watching Broadcasting
Stream to Web server
To watch your surveillance content if the Stream to Web Server broadcasting method is used, you have to point your Internet browsers to the address like: http://yourname.web2cam.com, where "loginname" is ID, which you will receive after sign up for Web Streaming.
HTTP Server
If the HTTP Server method is used, viewers type IP address and HTTP port of surveillance computer in the Internet browser (for example: http://63.236.73.147:8080).
If you want to connect to your camera from within local area network, open Internet Browser, and just type IP address of camera's computer and camera's port.
If you want to connect to your camera from outside local area network or from Internet, you have to know external IP address of your local area network, which can be defined at: http://www.whatismyip.com
Open Internet Browser, and type external IP address of surveillance computer and camera's port. If your network uses firewall, make sure that the port and IP address of camera's computer are open on the firewall. Please refer to the router configuration section in the frequently asked questions.
When viewers connect to HTTP server, it shows a default web page. This web page contains special code that shows your camera.
You can create this web page with any HTML editor.
Fortunately, the program has own tool, called Web Page Creation Wizard, to prepare this web page.
To open the Web Page Creation Wizard, select Create Web Page from the Tools menu.
Web Page Creation Wizard helps you to specify title for your web page and change other attributes, such as background and text color, upper and lower captions.
It creates the web page HTML file, and uploads page's files to a folder or to an FTP server where your web page is located.
FTP Upload
If the FTP Upload broadcasting method is used, viewers open camera's web page on a web server. This web server can be ordered from any web hosting company.
Camera's web page must be created and uploaded to this web server. This page contains special code that is constantly downloads image from web server and simulates live video.
Remote Access
If the Remote Access broadcasting method is used, the Active WebCam program must be installed on the viewer's computer in order to watch the camera. See more info about how to connect to the camera from remote computer using the remote access.
