Your WAN IP Address will be listed here.
Note: Because a dynamic WAN IP can change from time to time depending on your
ISP, you may want to obtain a Static IP address from your ISP. A Static IP address is a
fixed IP address that will not change over time and will be more convenient for you to
use to access your camera from a remote location. If you could not get a Static IP
address from your ISP, the DIPS™ or DDNS is a solution alternatively. Please refer to
Appendix G for more information.
(3) Open/set Virtual Server Ports to enable remote image viewing
The firewall security features built into the router and most routers prevent users from
accessing the video from the device over the Internet. The router connects to the
Internet over a series of numbered ports. The ports normally used by the device are
blocked from access over the Internet. Therefore, these ports need to be made
accessible over the Internet. This is accomplished using the Virtual Server function on
the router. The Virtual Server ports used by the camera must be opened through the
router for remote access to your camera. Virtual Server is accessed by clicking on the
Advanced tab of the router screen.
Follow these steps to configure your router’s Virtual Server settings
• Click Enabled.
• Enter a unique name for each entry.
• Select Both under Protocol Type (TCP and UDP)
• Enter your camera’s local IP Address (e.g., 192.168.0.100, for example) in the
Private IP field.
