 Access Your Router on Your Web Browser
If you have cable or DSL service, you will most likely have a dynamically
assigned WAN IP Address. ‘Dynamic’ means that your router’s WAN IP address
can change from time to time depending on your ISP. A dynamic WAN IP
Address identifies your router on the public network and allows it to access the
Internet. To find out what your router’s WAN IP Address is, go to the Status
screen on your router and locate the WAN information for your router. As shown
on the next page the WAN IP Address will be listed. This will be the address
that you will need to type in your web browser to view your camera over the
Internet. Be sure to uncheck the Reset IP address at next boot button at the
top of the screen after modifying the IP address. Failure to do so will reset the
IP address when you restart your computer.
These are the port settings for
your camera. If necessary, these
ports can be changed if they are
already in use by other devices
(e.g. in a multiple camera environ-
ment).
