Appendix F: Configure Port Forwarding Manually
If you want to access the Camera over the internet, you will need to use it together with a router /
wireless router. The Camera’s IP address needs to be setup as fixed IP address. You will also need
to set up the port forwarding or Virtual Server function of router. Please follow the steps as below:
Manually installing the device with a router on your network is an easy 3–step procedure as
following:
(1) Assign a local/fixed IP address to your device
(2) Access the Router with Your Web browser
(3) Open/Configure Virtual Server Ports of Your Router
(1) Assign a local/fixed IP address to your device
The device must be assigned a local and fixed IP Address that allows it to be recognized by
the router. Manually setup the device with a fixed IP address, for example, 192.168.0.100.
(2) Access the Router with Your Web browser
The following steps generally apply to any router that you have on your network. The D-Link
DI-624 is used as an example to clarify the configuration process. Configure the initial
settings of the router by following the steps outlined in the router’s Quick Installation Guide.
If you have cable or DSL service, you will most likely have a dynamically assigned WAN IP
Address. ‘Dynamic’ means that your router’s WAN IP address can change from time to time
depending on your ISP. A dynamic WAN IP Address identifies your router on the public
network and allows it to access the Internet. To find out what your router’s WAN IP Address
is, go to the Status screen on your router and locate the WAN information for your router. As
shown on the following page the WAN IP Address will be listed. This will be the address that
you will need to type in your web browser to view your camera over the Internet. Be sure to
uncheck the Reset IP address at next boot button at the top of the screen after modifying the
IP address. Failure to do so will reset the IP address when you restart your computer.
