1. To view your IP camera via the intenet, open a browser and enter your
external/public internet IP address into the address bar, then a colon sign
(:), and then enter the port number (for example, 192.168.1.10:8090). That
should bring up your camera’s login screen.
2. If you are using ADSL to access the Internet, you will need to obtain the IP
camera’s current WAN IP address or congured DDNS.
There are two ways for you to obtain the WAN (Internet, public) IP address:
1. Perform an online search to obtain the WAN IP address - It is very easy
for you to obtain your Internet (public) IP address if your IP camera and
computer are on the same subnet. Open your browser and type in: http://
www.whatismyip.com or http://www.myip.cn. It will bring up your WAN’S
IP address (see below).
2. Obtain from the router.
See the below diagram (Picture 27) for an example using a TP-LINK router.
According to the router manual, the router’s IP address is 192.168.1.1. To log
into the router, type 192.168.1.1 in your browser. You will see the status of the
router and also nd it’s WAN IP address. In this example, the WAN IP address is
116.24.235.122.
You will now be able to view the IP camera from the Internet. Type the correct
WAN IP address into your browser. For example: http:// 116.24.235.122:8999
Note: Make sure the Port’s UPnP is available. You can open UPNP as follows.
Go to the Settings page for your router (see full details in the user manual for
your router) to enable UPnP. Or, enable the virtual mapping function. Add the IP
address and service port for your device to the virtual mapping list.
Users can access the IP camera device via the Internet by inputting the IP
address. For example, http:// 116.24.235.122:8999
With DDNS (Dynamic DNS) service, you can use the server of your choice
and you will receive a dynamic IP address real-time that corresponds to that
server. Simply put, whenever the user is on the Internet, the user will get an IP
address. DDNS can ensure that a xed domain name can access a user’s device.
