PCs and cameras are using to connect to your local network. Your WAN or Internet IP address is visible to the outside world (Internet) whereas your local addresses are not. To find your home or business network from the Internet you must know your WAN IP address. Your WAN IP address is stored by your gateway router, which uses it to connect to the Internet. All the devices on your network connect to the Internet via your gateway router.
Observer IP NetCam uses port 80 to deliver its web page to your browser and port 1600 to send video. Therefore, both of these channels (ports) must be open (not blocked by your router/firewall) to incoming traffic in order for you to connect to the camera from the Internet. Also, these two ports must be forwarded or redirected to the camera’s LAN IP address by your gateway router. Your router’s setup software should provide a utility for port forwarding or redirecting.
