4.2 Access the Camera in WAN
4.2.1 Static IP Addresses
Users who have static IP addresses do not need to set DDNS service settings for remote
access. When you have finished connecting the camera using the LAN IP address and
port forwarding, you can access the camera directly from the Internet using the WAN IP
address and port number.
How to Obtain the WAN IP address from a public website ?
To obtain your WAN IP address enter the following URL in your browser:
http://www.whatismyip.com. The webpage at this address will show the current WAN IP.
Figure 4.3
Access your IP Camera from the Internet
You can access the IP Camera from the Internet (remote access). Enter the WAN IP
address and port number in your standard browser. For example, you would enter http://
183.37.28.254:85
NOTES: Make sure port forwarding is successful. You can do port forwarding two ways.
1) Login to your router to enable the “UPNP” function. You can then login to the camera
as administrator, choose Network, and then choose UPnP to enable UPnP. Make sure that
the status of UPnP reads “UPnP Successful” on the Device Status page.
2) Do port (HTTP port) forwarding manually. (See Figure 2.11 for further details). If your
router has a Virtual Server, it can do port forwarding. Add the camera’s LAN IP and port
which you had set earlier to your router’s port forwarding settings.
If you plug the camera into a router, it will have a dynamic IP address and you need to
set DDNS service settings to view it remotely.
Step 1: Enter the username and password of the Administrator (default username is
