The present invention relates to a method for controlling IP camera terminal, in particular to a method of a monitoring terminal controlling the camera terminal through the information network. The camera terminal acquires a dynamic IP address through the information network. The IP address corresponds to the exclusive ID name assigned to the camera terminal in advance. After the camera terminal is communicated with the network server, the network server with the fixed IP address registers the login of the camera terminal, and establishes a camera terminal list of the IP address and ID name of the camera terminal on the network server. Once the mobile phone user gains the destination IP address in the camera terminal list through the network server and chooses the camera terminal of the IP addresses to connect and respond, the user can see the vedio collected on the monitoring terminal like mobile phone, which is convenient to see any scene at any time, thereby making the user have an immersed sense. In addtion, the method solves the defects of high cost and the wired remote view through the cable.
