Can not find ip of Wanscam AJ-C2WA-C198 ip camera

[Rubeste231]

Dear readers,

I have bought this camera about 2 years ago and it worked then. I recently tried to turn it on and install it, but i couln't find my CD so i downloaded the software from the wanscam website. I hooked my camera to a combinaiton of a modem and router (this is a new router) that also has a lan connection with my PC. I started up the searchtool but i couldn't find an ip adress. I have read a lot of instruction papers and tips on other sites. The camera does its tests and the green connection light stays on with the network light (orange) turning of and on. I resetted the camera and it did not work. I have no idea what i can do, so if someone wants to help me it would be nice.
Thanks for reading.

Login to your router in find the page with the connected devices. The camera should show up there.

What didn't work? You don't see the camera? Maybe becaus the DHCP server si disabled?

Check the documentation to see if there is a way to factory reset the camera. Usually there is a button that is held down while powering up.

Here is the manufacturer's documentation -- http/www.wanscam.com/faq/howtoresetyourwanscamipcamera/

well the DHCP is on but i think it is a static ip. i have no clue if it is and i do not know how to figure that out.
