10.4 Port Forwarding
At this moment, you can only access the camera when connected to your
own wireless network, not through the internet. This is because a home
network is usually connected to the internet through a router. Only the
router’s external IP address (assigned to you by your Internet Service
Provider) can be seen on the internet. Moreover, the router will also block
access to any device in your home network, including your camera. To
bypass this, most routers support a mechanism called port forwarding
that allows access from the internet to a device in the home network.
You can set up port forwarding as follows:
1. Open your web browser on your mobile device, and enter the
IP address of your router you wrote down in the address bar.
Your router configuration page appears.
2. Go to the port forwarding (or virtual server) rule configuration page.
Note: The naming of port forwarding or virtual server may vary based
on the brand of your router. Refer to the user manual of your specific
router for more information.
