which you had set earlier to your router’s port forwarding settings.

Note: 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.

2.2.2 Dynamic IP Addresses

DDNS is a service that allows your IP Camera, especially when assigned with a dynamic IP

address, to have a fixed host and domain name. This means that even though your WAN IP

address is constantly changing, you will have a fixed hostname you can use to access your

cameras at all times. You can access the camera directly from the Internet using the hostname

and port number.

What is the HTTP Port no.?

1) Default HTTP Port is 88

All cameras have the default HTTP port of 88. For example, if the LAN IP link of the camera is

http://192.168.8.102:88, this means that the camera’s HTTP port is 88. You can change port 88

to another port if you’d like such as 2000 or 8090, which will not be conflict with other existing

ports like 25, 21,10000.Here you can set the port no. between 1 and 65535.

2) Change the default http no.88 to another one.
