any incoming connections for safety purposes. Using port forwarding, you are telling your router

to allow a connection through a certain port (you can think of it as a gateway) into your router.

You set this port to a specific device, in our case an IP Camera, so it can be accessed from

anywhere in the world.

How do we configure Port Forwarding?

For this section, we will be using an example:

Let’s say the camera’s LAN IP address is http://192.168.8.100:2000

Step 1: Login to the router, and go to your router’s port forwarding or port triggering menu.

Sometimes this is also under the name of Virtual Server or NAT.

Using the Linksys brand router as an example, we would log into the router, and go to the

Applications & Gaming menu. We would then click on the “Single Port Forwarding”

sub-menu.

Step 2:

Create a new column using the LAN IP address & HTTP Port of the camera within the

router as shown below, then push OK or Submit to save your settings:

Figure 2.11

Fill the HTTP Port of the

camera in the columns of

External Port and Internal

Port. Example: 2000

Fill in this section with the

LAN IP of the camera; we

would enter “100” for our

example.
