Section 3 - Configuration

Opening ports will allow users to view the camera

via the Internet. The ports that are opened must be

unique for each camera in order to successfully view

the images remotely.

The HTTP and AV ports are located in the TOOLS

> PORT page. Please refer to the screenshot to

the right. In this example, we assume the ISP has

blocked the port 80. The HTTP port will be set to 83

instead of 80.

*

IMPORTANT NOTE

: Some ISPs block traffic

on commonly used ports like port 80 to disallow

consumers from putting a server on their network.

Be sure to check with your ISP so that you can open

the appropriate ports accordingly. If your ISP does

not pass traffic on port 80, you will need to change

the Web server port the camera uses from 80 to

something else, like 83. If you are behind a residential

gateway, you will need to open a corresponding port

on your gateway as well. Not all gateways are the

same, please refer to your gateway’s user’s manual

for specific instructions on how to forward ports.

The Virtual Server Ports of your router must be opened

for remote access to your camera. This is also referred

to as port forwarding. The D-Link DI-624 is used as an

example to clarify the configuration process. Please

proceed as follows:

•

Select

Enabled

to enable virtual server settings.

•

Select a camera name.

•

Enter your camera’s Local IP Address in the

Private

IP

field. (Example: 192.168.0.100)

•

Select

TCP

under

Protocol Type

.

•

If you are using the default camera port settings, enter

83 in to the

Public

and

Private

Port section.

•

Schedule

should be set to

Always

so that the

camera images can be

accessed at any time.

•

In the

Virtual Servers List

, a check mark appearing before the camera name will indicate that the ports are

enabled.

•

Click

Apply

to save your settings. Note: If you are installing multiple cameras, be sure to open ONE Web port per

additional camera installed: port 81, 82, etc. for Web server. The AV Control Port and AV Streaming Port also need

to be open. These ports are 5000 and 5001. Each camera will also require different control and streaming ports

(5002, 5003,...etc).

The D-Link DI-624 is used in this example. The WAN

IP Address is located in the STATUS > DEVICE INFO

page. In this example, the Internet (WAN) IP Address

is

24.163.122.90

. Please refer to the screenshot to

the right.

Note: Because a dynamic WAN IP address can

change from time to time depending on your ISP,

you may want to obtain a Static IP address from your

ISP. A static IP address is a fixed IP address that will

not change over time and will be more convenient

for you to use to access your camera from a remote

location. You can use DDNS to obtain an IP address,

please refer to page 28 for more information.

4. Identify the Internet (WAN) IP Address

Section 3 - Configuration

After all settings have been entered correctly, a user

inside or outside of the network will have access

to the camera through a standard web browser. To

access from the internet, simply type in the Internet

(WAN) IP Address of the router, followed by the HTTP

port number. (

Example: http://24.163.122.90:83

) To

access from a computer on your local (home) network,

simply enter the local IP Address of your camera with

the HTTP port. (e.x. http://192.168.0.100:83)
