![]() They just tend to hang in there, which is great because you don’t need to worry about losing them.Īfter gently detaching the base of these curious Campbell from the chassis, you exposed the inner electronics. So don’t get confused if you keep twisting and find that the screws haven’t detached from the case. I found that when you unscrew the screws, they tend to stay in place and do not fall out of the chassis itself. Here’s a photo of the screwdriver I used. This isn’t as scary as it sounds, since we just need to unscrew 3 Phillips head screws in the chassis of the security camera. In order to access the port where you can insert your micro SD card we need to dismantle the security camera. Right now we know what type of micro SD card to use, let’s install it! In fact, I found the price is pretty similar on Amazon.Įxample of a high endurance micro sd card (notice the class 10) The good news is that they don’t tend to cost that much more than regular micro SD cards. The main one being that they are designed for long term use and more read/writes than your typical SD card. There are few differences between these types of micro SD cards and regular ones. IeGeek recommends that you use a surveillance grade micro SD card for their cameras. I found that a sandisk micro SD card with 64 gigabytes of memory worked just fine. ![]() While in the instructions for a camera, it states that not all memory cards are compatible. Out of the box, ie Geek cameras don’t come with internal memory, you’ll have to add it yourself. And you have a camera that’s been set up as wired and you can skip this step, but for the rest of us, let’s go through it. Let’s add a memory card to your new security camera. Let the camera make the switch from wired to wireless.įirst things first. In order to set your camera up on Wi-Fi mode, you have to take a specific series of steps in order to get it to. I can’t emphasise this point enough because it really caught me out when I was setting up my ie geek security camera.

Steps to setup to Wi-Fi on ie Geek cameras As well as why you might want to consider switching from a wired to WiFi connection. I’ll also talk about some of the merits of both wired and wireless connections. But there’s a lot more involved and if you keep reading, I’ll talk you through the steps and include pictures and diagrams of exactly what you need to do and make the process very smooth and easy.

But I was soon to discover there is more involved in switching from a wired connection to Wi-Fi. ![]() I certainly thought so when I embarked on this little quest. Type ipconfig /all to get it from Windows on the command prompt.Īnother strange thing is that I tried exactly the same config setting above with a camera from China (not FOSCAM) and it did NOT WORK, Gmail SMTP didn't work, BT Yahoo didn't work but strangely hotmail DID ! So god knows what's going on.Īlso for my Chinese Camera (non FOSCAM) for the account STARTTLS Port: 25 and worked fine for me with sender being my hotmail account and the receiver being my gmail account.Connecting your ieGeek camera to your Wi-Fi network might sound like an easy proposition. Sender Email: First Receiver: Second Receiver: Īlso I think having the correct Primary DNS Server and secondary under Network->IP Configuration helps.I configured email photo/snapshot alerts with FOSCAM R2 cameras and it worked fine with GMAIL SMTP, however, I vaguely remember having to do something strange actually WITHIN GMAIL, something about permissions regarding one gmail account requiring permission from a different GMAIL account to send it messages automatically (it was very weird).
