Purpose:

This section explains how to connect the network camera to the WAN with a static IP

or a dynamic IP.

Before you start:

Please apply a static IP to the camera. With the static IP address, you can connect

the network camera via a router or connect it to the WAN directly.

●Connecting the network camera via a router

Steps:

1. Connect the network camera to the router.

2. Assign a LAN IP address, the subnet mask and the gateway. Refer to Section 2.1.2

Detecting and Changing the IP Address for detailed IP address configuration of

the camera.

3. Save the static IP in the router.

4. Set port mapping: TCP 80, TCP/UDP 8000 and TCP/UDP 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. Visit the network camera through a web browser or the client software over the

internet.
