HOW TO CONFIGURE PORT FORWARDING
What is port forwarding?
If using a dynamic IP through the DHCP configuration of a router, the port forwarding function allows the
router to assign a static IP and camera for a specific network camera when a monitoring PC program
connects to a specific network camera.
In addition, when the router power is reset or recovered from a failure and its IP and port are changed, it
prevents the monitoring PC program from not finding its network camera.
J
 When a monitoring PC program connects to an internal network camera using a DDNS server, port forwarding
must be set. If the network camera’s IP and port are not configured through port forwarding, a connection cannot
be made.
