13. Accessing i-WATCHER over the Internet


If your home or business LAN is connected to the Internet through a high speed (broadband)
Internet connection, with at least 128 kbps upload bandwidth, you can access your
cameras via the web browser from anywhere on the Internet. To do this you would need to:

1. Know your WAN (Internet) IP address. This is the IP address that your Internet Service

Provider provides you to access the Internet. It may be static (always the same) or
dynamic (can change from time to time).

2. Make sure the two ports used by the camera (80 & 1600) are forwarded by your router

or gateway to the camera.

3. Make sure your camera default gateway is set to the LAN (local) IP address of your

router/gateway.

13-1. WAN IP Address


The WAN (Wide Area Network) IP address that your Internet Service Provider provides you
so that you can access the Internet is very different from the LAN or local IP address that
your 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.
You can find your current WAN IP address by checking your router status page. There are
also various websites such as www.whatismyip.com which will tell you the IP address that
you are currently using to access the Internet.
