7. Configuring the remote access

1). Each manufacturer of routers handles Port Forwarding in a different way. For

detailed, router specific instructions, please visit

www.portforward.com and find the model

of your router. Then select ‘Default Guide’ for detailed screenshots and use them to help

you through the rest of these instructions.

1. Open Internet Explorer and type in the IP address of your Default Gateway. This

opens the configuration page of your router.

2. Next, create a Port Forwarding rule for the IP camera.

A. The port number to forward will be 80 if you have followed the manual thus

far.

B. Your Router will ask for an IP address as well. Input the IP address of your

IP camera.

3. After creating the Port Forwarding rule, visit

A. Write down your external address, it will be used later.

B. In the box that says ‘Port Number’, Type in the port number that you have

created a port Forwarding rule for, and click “Check”

C. If it says ‘Port is open’ then you have set up Port Forwarding properly and

you can now access your IP camera from another location.
