A.2.2 Dynamic IP Connection
Apply a dynamic IP from an ISP. With the dynamic IP address, you can connect the network
camera to a modem or a router.
Connecting the network camera via a router
1. Connect the network camera to the router.
2. In the camera, assign a LAN IP address, the subnet mask and the gateway. Refer to Section
A.1.1 Detecting and Changing IP Address for detailed LAN configuration.
3. In the router, set the PPPoE user name, password and confirm the password.
4. Set port mapping. E.g. 80, 8000, 8200 and 554 ports. The steps for port mapping vary
depending on different routers. Please call the router manufacturer for assistance with port
mapping.
Note: Refer to Appendix 2 for detailed information about port mapping.
5. Apply a domain name from a domain name provider.
6. Configure the DDNS settings in the setting interface of the router.
7. Visit the camera via the applied domain name.
Connecting the network camera via a modem
This camera supports the PPPoE auto dial-up function. The camera gets a public IP address by
ADSL dial-up after the camera is connected to a modem. You need to configure the PPPoE
parameters of the network camera. Refer to Section D.3.3 Configuring PPPoE Settings for
detailed configuration.
Figure 2-1 Accessing the Camera with Dynamic IP
Note: The obtained IP address is dynamically assigned via PPPoE, so the IP address always
changes after rebooting the camera. To solve the inconvenience of the dynamic IP, you need to
get a domain name from the DDNS provider (E.g. DynDns.com). Follow below steps for normal
domain name resolution and private domain name resolution to solve the problem.
