3. Go to SETTING > BASIC > Network > Information to find the HTTP port number used by the camera.

How to view your IP camera remotely via a web browser

Note: The steps below assume you already have your IP camera installed and connected to a router with Internet access.HTTP://192.168.1.101 represents the IP address of the camera being accessed.

Step 1

Find your camera’s IP address. If you don’t know its IP address, click here.

Step 2

Open a web browser and type the IP address. Enter your login information.

 

Step 3

Go to SETTING > BASIC > Network > Information to find the HTTP port number used by the camera. The default is 80.

Usually there is no need to change the port number. However some ISPs block port 80, so you may need to change the port number accordingly. In the image below, we changed it to 3333.

Step 4

After you change the port, you will need to reboot the camera in order to save the changes. You can do that by going to SETTING > BASIC > System > Initialize and clicking Reboot.

Step 5

After you reboot, log back into the camera on your web browser, using
http://(IP address):(Camera port number).

For this example, the address would be http://192.168.1.101:3333.

After this, you’ll need to adjust the port forwarding settings on your router. The configuration depends on the router model. Consult your router’s technical support accordingly. For this example, we are using a TP-Link TL-WR941ND.

Step 1

Log into your router’s management page (http://www.tp-link.us/faq-87.html).
Go to Forwarding > Virtual Servers and click Add New.

Step 2

Type the IP address and the port used by the camera in the corresponding field. For the Protocol, we recommend you select ALL. Click Saveto add this new entry.

Step 3

Port 3333 can now be used by the camera.

Step 4

Go to Status page to check the WAN IP address of the router.

Step 5

On a different PC (one that’s not connected to the same network as your camera), you can view your camera by opening the web browser, typing http://(IP address):(Camera port number) and pressing Enter.

For this example, the address would be http://192.168.1.101:3333.

WISHING HAPPY DEEPAVALI TO ALL

Deepavali 2016 and 2017

Deepavali is the most festive holiday of the year for the world's Hindus, and it is an official public holiday in many countries with significant Hindu populations, including Malaysia.

Year	Date	Day	Holiday	State
2016	29 Oct *	Sat	Deepavali	National except Sarawak
2017	18 Oct *	Wed	Deepavali	National except Sarawak

* Subject to change.

The date of Deepavali is determined by the Hindu lunar calendar, and so its date on the Gregorian calendar varies from year to year.

There are several different legendary backgrounds for Deepavali celebrations in the Hindu writings. One story tells of how Rama returned to reclaim his throne after a 14-year banishment. Because the night when he returned was exceptionally dark, the people of his city lit clay lamps at all their houses, thus lighting the path as he made his way to his throne. Others see Deepavali as a time to honour Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of prosperity and light clay lamps at their homes so she can find them and bless them. Either way, the clay lamps which you see lighting up homes and businesses during Deepavali are the reason it is also known as “the Festival of Lights.” The more abstract meaning of the festival is a symbolic display of the triumph of light (good) over darkness (evil).

Hindus traditionally rise early on Deepavali, in the wee hours of the morning to prepare for the day. First of all, they take a ritually prescribed herbal oil bath, which is meant to represent the washing away of one's past sins. A family prayer service will then often be held in homes, and some will also go to a local temple for additional rituals and acts of worship.

Houses are decorated with colour-paper lanterns and with “kolam” this time of year. Kolam refers to intricate, temporary floor designs made out of dyed rice and colourful powders. Kolam take much practice to perfect, and you will appreciate the ones you see inside shopping malls and other public places. If possible, try to “get invited” inside a Hindu house to view the beautiful kolam patterns. Since Deepavali is a time for open houses among Hindus, they will probably invite you before you can even ask.

Other Deepavali practices in Malaysia include: attending fireworks displays and setting off small firecrackers, giving children gifts of money enclosed in purple or yellow packages, and eating an abundance of sweet and savoury foods and sharing them with neighbours. One Malaysian snack you simply must try is called “murukku.” It is basically deep fat fried rice noodles shaped into a spiral and infused with cumin or sesame seeds. Rice pudding is also very popular.

A few ideas on what to do should you visit Malaysia during the Deepavali festival are:

• Visit Kuala Lumpur, the capital, and particularly its two “Little India” districts to see the Deepavali lights and celebrations. The first Little India, Brickfields, is an easy walk from Kuala Lumpur's main train station. The second Little India, stretches along Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman. To get the full experience, regardless of which Little India you tour, look for open houses, for much of Deepavali takes place inside the family home.
• Visit famous Hindu temples located throughout Malaysia. Most of the Hindu population is concentrated in the western part of West Malaysia. West Malaysia is at the end of continental Asia's Malay Peninsula, while East Malaysia lies across the South China Sea on the island of Borneo. Since Hindus have been in Malaysia for many centuries, there are a good number of ancient temples to view.  In 2006, several city governments demolished Hindu temples in move seen as a persecution by Hindus but claimed as based on “squatting” violations by the Malaysian government. Nonetheless, many temples remain.
• Look for Batu Caves in Selangor, seven miles north of Kuala Lumpur. It is a complex of natural caves with various Hindu temples built on the inside. In downtown Kuala Lumpur, the Sri Maha Kaliamman Temple is on Ipoh Road near the Batu River. It is very ornate and colourful and houses an incredible number of statues and images. Finally, the Arulmigu Sri Rajakaliamman Glass Temple is covered in glass. It is in Johor, right next to the city-state of Singapore.
• See and photograph the largest flower on the planet, which grows on the Rafflesia plant. The flower can grow to a three-foot diameter and is only found in Indonesia and Malaysia. You can see it in the rain forest of the Taman Negara National Park, where you can also see tigers and tropical birdlife, travel the “canopy walkway,” trek up Mount Tahan, and go on a boat trip down a jungle river. Taman Negara is clearly an excursion for those a little on the “adventurous“ side, but that daring spirit of adventure is always well rewarded.

Deepavali festival is a major holiday in parts of Malaysia, mostly among Hindus, and it is a time when Hindus invite those of other religions into their homes to see how they celebrate what, to them, is the most important day on the calendar. There is no doubt that the Festival of Lights in Malaysia will be as much a learning experience to tourists as it is religious experience to local Hindus.

RINGGIT BEFORE THE BUDGET 2017

OCT  7 THE 2017

ere's What Malaysians Want To See Addressed In The Upcoming Budget

Yesterday S wishlist for the upcoming budget.

Ng Hooi Koon, 26, accountant, Kuala Lumpur

“The education system in Malaysia should focus on being an economic instrument for growth. The government should allocate more funds to improve Internet access in schools, since many teaching materials were now online. The quality of reading materials in schools and libraries must improve so students would have better access to information.

Seran Shanmugam, 30, technician, Sitiawan

“It is not an overstatement that most Malaysians are still unable to own a home even though Malaysian property prices are rising at a slower pace. My wish is for the government to make it easier for the younger generation to own their first house by increasing the supply of affordable houses. Providing affordable houses for Malaysians is no longer a financial question but a moral one, so to speak.

Jeff Henry.L, 32, wedding planner, Pasir Mas, Kelantan

“GST has severely affected my finances. This could be due to the lack of proper execution for the escalating cost of living. I want the government to reduce the GST rate and to improve price regulation to deter errant businesses from rampantly increasing their prices.

“Besides, public transport should be improved and the government must ensure the bus and taxi network in the Klang Valley is efficient, and well coordinated and the fares must also be attractive.”

Shilla Robert, 23, public relations officer, Kuching

“There is no denying that our country has low minimum salary that it’s quite difficult to stretch income to last till the end of the month. I hope the government introduces more affordable housing schemes especially in the city. Housing loans should also be more flexible for those who do not earn much to enable the lower or middle income group to own their own houses.”

Focusing On The Bottom 40 Percent And Middle 40 Percent Income Groups

According to Economic Report 2015/2016, the B40 (bottom 40% household income) group comprises households with a monthly income of up to RM3,855, while those in the M40 group (middle 40% household income group) earn between RM3,860 and RM8,319, Second Finance Minister Datuk Johari Abdul Ghani had highlighted the government’s continuing concern for these groups at the 2017 Budget focus group meeting on cost earlier in August.

Datuk Johari had said besides BR1M, Budget 2017 would also address issues pertaining to affordable housing under the 1Malaysia People's Housing Programme (PR1MA), the welfare of the Bottom 40 per cent (B40) and Middle 40 per cent (M40) income groups.

Johari said The 1Malaysia People's Aid programme or BR1M will continue as the government is committed to it. He also emphasized that there is a gap in terms of obtaining financing for the total purchase price of properties as banks are not providing the full financing that people want and there is a need to look into this.

When contacted, Hong Leong Investment Bank Bhd financial analyst, Sia Ket Ee (pic) told Malaysian Digestthat with the increase in the general price level, it is argued that the B40s and M40s are finding it hard to sustain their standard of living.

"It is commendable that the government is committed in addressing the issue in a holistic way to enhance the well-being of Malaysians. However, Malaysians generally spend about 30% of their disposable income on food and food away from home, nearly 24% on petrol, housing and utilities and others.

"With the change in lifestyle, the basket of necessary goods today includes cars, hand phones, computers and Internet access,” he said, which is consistent with the Finance Ministry’s statement earlier.

Asked how to address the rising cost of living, Sia opined: “Prices of essential goods and services and income need to be examined closely. This can be done by opening up more land for food and fish cultivation to all enterprising farmers and fishermen on a more equitable basis.”

“At this point of time, it is more important that the government continues on its budget consolidation path with the aim of reducing the deficit to further enhance private sector participation in economic development instead of focusing on goodies.

“The government should also review and revise our current economic model and make it more competitive, efficient and productive,” he reiterated.

Sia’s call for prices of essential goods and incomes to be constantly monitored echoes the government’s concerns as the Budget 2017 focus group convened in August summarised six items to be further examined. These areas all relate to keeping tabs on cost escalation of food, education and transportation, as well as other necessity items like handphones and internet, and the ability to get finance from the institutions to buy houses.

“With the increase in the general price level, it is argued that the B40s and M40s are finding it difficult to sustain their standard of living,” Datuk Johari added.

“We will look into all these in detail and see how we can think about coming up with the formula (that we need) to have,” he noted.

Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan had also spoken that among the aims of Budget 2017 is to create an efficient social security network for the target groups during a challenging economic environment.

"Besides, we also need many training programmes to teach fresh graduates new skills to make them more relevant to industry needs," he told reporters after officiating Softec Asia 2016 earlier.

Abdul Rahman, who is in charge of the Economic Planning Unit, said for the middle 40 percent income bracket (M40), apart from tax reliefs, the government was also expected to study ways of reducing their monthly fixed expenses.

"If we can't increase salaries, as requested, maybe we can look at reducing the monthly payment component with the collaboration of the private sector," he said, adding that this would increase the purchasing power of the M40 and boost the country's economic growth.

Fiscal Discipline Is Important To Achieve Macro Stability, Says Economic Expert

However, it all comes down to the government's revenue forecast for the coming year as Datuk Johari also emphasized that allocations under the 2017 Budget would be decided ultimately by what the government can afford without jeopardizing the country's financial position.

"We will look at what the government's anticipated revenue is," he said, reports New Straits Times.

Earlier in September, the World Bank had also signalled its approval of Malaysia’s steering of its economy in the face of uncertain economic conditions.

“If you look at Malaysia’s story over the past years, it has been a positive growth story. Malaysia continues to grow in the period when there is a lot of global headwinds,” World Bank Malaysia Country Manager, Faris H. Hadad-Zervos had stated about Malaysia’s pro-growth budget policies in a one-day workshop in collaboration with the Performance Management and Delivery Unit on 6 Sept 2016

Faris highlighted that the Malaysian economy grew by 4% in the second quarter of this year, leading to a 4.1% growth in the first half of 2016, in line with the moderate pace of the global economy.

Speaking to Malaysian Digest, Prof Dr Shazali Abu Mansor (pic), economic expert and lecturer of Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) said our country needs a major restructuring in our economic plans and annual Budgets.

“To alleviate the burden of Malaysians, the government should allocate more funding for basic needs like housing, transport, health and even higher wages that can be related to productivity and performance.

“This is because all these necessary economic structural changes will also mean a better tax structure that will eventually raise taxes from the higher income groups through higher estate duties and wealth taxes.

Shazali, however, believes that the upcoming budget is going to be people-centric, which will be focused on measures to ease concerns of voters like easing the rising cost of living and raising income level.

“The bottom 40% of households (B40) and the middle 40% (M40) will be the targeted group in Budget 2017,” he predicted.

Even though market expectations for a “people-friendly” Budget 2017 has been mounting amid speculation about an early general election, some economists say there won’t be “big election giveaways”, as the government also needs to ensure fiscal prudence.

Elaborating, Shazali remarked: “The budget’s aim should be macro stability which infers any expansionary plans should be done with fiscal discipline, considering the prolonged slowdown in global trade.

Pointing out that striking a balance between necessary spending to alleviate Malaysians concerns while practicing financial prudence to ensure favourable international economic rating will continue to be a priority.

“Striking a balance between spending priorities and resource constraints is important as rating agencies had warned that a lack of fiscal discipline could lead to negative rating action on Malaysia's credit profile.

“This is important as rating agencies have sounded that wavering on fiscal discipline and broader public finances that lend to higher debt ratios,” he concluded.

Resorts World Genting

Officially known as Resorts World Genting and a self-proclaimed City of Entertainment, Genting is Malaysia's wholesome version of sin-city Las Vegas. The primary draw is that Genting is the only place where you can gamble legally in Malaysia, but there's also a theme park to keep the kids amused. The resort offers six hotels with 10,000 rooms, over 50 fun rides, 170 dining and shopping outlets, shows, business convention facilities and entertainment options. As a plus, being located up in the highlands means it's cooler than the steamy lowlands. Many visitors come to Genting for the sole purpose of experience the chill, where the temperature can get to as low as 10 Celcius. Genting attracted 19.2 million visitors in 2008.

The company that owns and runs the resort at Genting Highland, also owns the neighbouring Singapore's Integrated Resort at Resort World Sentosa.

The distance of Genting Highland from KLCC is merely 56km, and normally take about an hour by car.

Orientation

Orienting yourself in Genting is simultaneously easy and difficult. There are no "streets" of any kind; instead, all the gigantic buildings are connected with a vast warren of linkways, underground tunnels and escalators, all filled with enough signage to stop you from getting lost. Figuring out the fastest route from A to B is not always easy though, because the signage is designed to lead you into the hotels and their casinos!

Climate

Located at an altitude of 1740 m (5708 ft), temperatures in Genting are a good 5-10°C lower than in Kuala Lumpur, generally staying in the 15-25°C range. On a clear day, there are stunning views down into the valley — but when it's raining in Kuala Lumpur, Genting is swathed in rolling clouds and visibility drops to zero. Thanks to the walkway system, you almost never need to venture outside, but hotel rooms are unheated and can get chilly at night.

Get in

By plane

The nearest airport is in Kuala Lumpur. Skybus [2] used to run direct buses, but seems to have stopped; the fastest way is thus to KL Sentral by train (28 min) and then connecting to the bus from there. Alternatively, if you're feeling flush after hitting a jackpot in the casino, Sabah Air (tel. +60 3 62578604) will be happy to charter a helicopter for you (30 min).

By bus

Genting Skyway on a misty day

There are frequent buses operated by Go Genting Express Bus from various points in Kuala Lumpur area i.e. Pudu Sentral (LRT Plaza Rakyat) (7.30am - 7pm, hourly) , Putra LRT Gombak Station (8am, 10.30am, 1pm, 2pm, 5pm, 7pm), KL Sentral (LRT KL Sentral, KTM KL Sentral) (8am - 8pm, departs hourly. Extra buses Fri-Sun, 3.30pm, 9pm) and PJ One Utama terminal station (8am, 11.30am, 1.30pm, 7pm). All buses take around one hour and cost around RM3.40 to RM4.60 (2016) one way. Bus terminating at the bus terminal beside the Skyway cable car base station (B4), from where it's a 16-minute ride up to the summit of Genting (RM 5 one-way; the top cable station is in the Highlands Hotel). On a normal sunny day, the cable cars are available frequently. You may have to wait for more than 45 mins for the next cable car during bad weather. It is slightly cheaper to buy a combined bus and cable car ticket, costing RM9.80 to RM11 (2016). Booking in advance is advisable during holidays and weekend as tickets could be sold out fast.

[Additional buses departing at 8PM and 9PM on Fri, Sat and Sun head directly to the First World Bus Terminal, making it unnecessary to take the cable car up. The buses that depart at 9PM, 10PM and 11PM on Fri, Sat and Sun for KL Sentral from Genting leave from the First World Hotel. (To confirm whether it is discontinued)]

You may also consider buying the Go Genting Package (valid for one day only; RM 78, 31Jul2016) from the KL Sentral/Pudu Sentral/Gombak/One Utama. This package includes the return bus journey (same day only) between KL/PJ and cable car station, return cable car ride (same day only) and buffet lunch at the Coffee Terrace or Indoor Theme Park day pass (including EZiCash with 10 credit points) and Snow World ticket. You have to decide on what time you want to return from Genting when you purchase the package.

Another economical option is the local bus (air cond) from Pekeliling Bus Station ( LRT Titiwangsa/monorail) to Genting Highlands (every 20 to 30 mins, first bus at 7AM). This bus make frequent stop along the way to pick up/alight passengers. No booking is allowed for Pekeliling local bus, first come first serve.

Transtar [3] operates one daily superluxury "Solitaire" bus direct from Singapore (S$87/77 one-way from/to Singapore). Other companies running direct buses include Five Star Tours, Grassland, Konsortium and Starmart Website.

By car and taxi

Genting can be reached by car from Kuala Lumpur in about 1 hr on the Karak Highway. An executive taxi from the centre of Kuala Lumpur to Genting costs RM150-RM200 whilst a regular taxi from the centre of KL to Genting costs around RM60-RM70.

From KLIA/KLIA2, for the coupon budget category taxi- RM217.20, premier-RM284.90,and family is RM562.40 incl. GST and tolls (2015). Travelling time is about 2 hours.

Get around

All hotels in Genting (except Awana) are connected by sheltered walkways and escalators, so you never actually need to go outside. The entire complex is, theoretically, wheelchair accessible.

Casinos

The dimly lit, surreal kitsch of the First World Plaza indoor theme park-cum-shopping mall

Let's face it: if you aren't into theme park rides, the only thing to do in Genting isgamble. All casinos are open 24 hrs, although you must be over 21 and, if Malaysian, not Muslim to enter. A notional but widely ignored dress code applies, prohibiting T-shirts, shorts and sandals, and while there are theoretical non-smoking zones here and there, all casinos are wreathed in dense smoke. One final difference to Vegas: you can get a drink from the cafes inside, but there no cocktail waitresses.

Table games of choice are roulette, baccarat and Chinese games such as tai sai andpai gow, with poker barely registering. There are also countless slot machines, but they all require signing up with Genting's WorldCard [4] system if you want to withdraw any winnings.

• Monte Carlo Casino, Genting/Highlands Hotel. This is easily the largest of the casinos and you'll probably find your vice of choice in here somewhere — they even have a few video poker machines. Visitors with foreign passports are allowed to enter the "International Room" VIP zone if they agree to sign up to WorldCard.

• Hollywood Casino, Genting/Highlands Hotel.

• StarWorld Casino, First World Hotel.

No bags are allowed inside, but lockers are available (RM 3), as well as a manned deposit point for more valuable goods like laptops. Photography inside the casinos is strictly prohibited.

Entertainment

• Arena of Stars, . Hosts concerts and shows most weekends, but most feature B-grade Chinese pop stars or Western artists well past their prime.

• First World Plaza, Malaysia's self-proclaimed highest shopping mall, this is an ungainly mix of indoor theme park and low-rent shopping mall with replicas of random landmarks from around the world, all covered with a giant metal roof that makes the entire place seem dark and dingy.

• First World Cineplex, Times Square, First World Plaza. Two small cinemas.

• Genting International Convention Centre (GICC). Convention center with various halls capable of hosting events, concerts and performances for up to 2,000 people.

Theme parks

• Genting Outdoor Theme Park, . Features numerous rides typical of an amusement park, mostly suitable for families. Daily Unlimited Ride Pass priced at RM50 for adults and RM35 for children below 12 years old, while the Express Lane Pass for each age range valued at RM86 and RM56, respectively.

• All Park Daily Unlimited Pass for the combined Outdoor Theme Park and First World Indoor Theme Park costs RM66 for adult and RM45 for children. Express Lane Pass also available at RM114 and RM77, respectively.

• First World Plaza, in First World Hotel, . The First World Plaza has got to be the coolest, if not the highest shopping destination in Malaysia. It carries over 90 labels with F&B outlets and attractions for all ages!

Eat

Food in Genting is generally overpriced and mediocre. Local, Western and fast food are available, but prices are often twice or more what the same meal would cost in Kuala Lumpur. Most restaurants are halal to cater for the large number of Muslim visitors.

Budget

There are a number of fast food chains like McDonald, Burger King, KFC, and Marrybrown. All these restaurants charge about 50% higher than what they charge elsewhere in Malaysia. Try Marybrown's Nasi Lemak meal as breakfast: one piece of chicken, a hot tea/coffee, and other Nasi Lemak condiments for RM ~10.

• Penang Food Village, (Theme Park Hotel). would be unremarkable anywhere else in Malaysia, but in Genting it's a notch above the competition: prices are reasonable (most remain under RM10), there are no crowds or clouds of smoke, and the food is tasty. Try thelor mee (noodles in black gravy). The spicy prawn noodle soup and the Penang Fried Kway Teow are not to be missed.The prawn noodles are nice too.  edit

Herbal soup near Genting Skyway- It's just a small shop selling herbal soup from RM8.80++. You can add rice for RM2++. Tasty soup and affordable price. One of the cheaper food options in Genting.

Mid-range

There are some decent Chinese restaurants like the Causeway Bay (FW Plaza Second floor) and Shanghai 10 (FW Plaza Main Atrium). They serve good food and a meal for 3 (1 main course, side dish and a drink per pax) should not cost you more than RM 60.

Genting Mushroom Farm has a restaurant offers chinese food, which is easily accessable by car.

• Coffee Terrace, Genting Hotel. Newly renovated restaurant with an international buffet in plush settings, with many chefs cooking on-the-spot upon your orders. It serves 6 different cuisines - Local, Nonya, Chinese, Japanese, Western and Indian. Recommendations include Penang Fried Kway Teow, Chicken Rice, Indian Naan, Japanese Sashimi (really fresh) and Medium-well beef steak. Breakfast (5:30AM-10:30AM) RM 35 nett, lunch (12noon-2:30PM) RM 55 nett, dinner (5PM-9:30PM) RM 65 nett. Children pay half price for all meals. The Go Genting Golden Package (see above, 'Get in by bus') may be used to cover the cost of a buffet lunch here.  edit

Splurge

• The Olive, (Genting Hotel). Genting's signature award-winning restaurant, located in the hotel lobby, attractively done in a very modern style. Very expensive, but if you're going to splurge, you might as well go whole hog and try the Wagyu steak, flown in directly from Japan.  edit
