Determine Your Router’s IP Address (WAN)
Note:
Because a dynamic WAN IP 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.

Open Virtual Server Ports to Enable Remote Image Viewing
The firewall security features built into the DI-614+ router prevent users from accessing the video from the DCS-5300
over the Internet. The router connects to the Internet over a series of numbered ports. The ports normally used by the
DCS-5300 are blocked from access over the Internet. Therefore, these ports need to be made accessible over the
Internet. This is accomplished using the
Virtual Server
function on the DI-614+ router. The Virtual Server ports used
by the camera must be opened through the router for remote access to your camera. Virtual Server is accessed by
clicking on the
Advanced
tab of the router screen.
Your WAN IP Address will be listed here.

Important:
Some ISPs block access to port 80. Be sure to check with your ISP so that you can open the appropriate
ports accordingly. Some ISPs block traffic on commonly used ports to conserve bandwidth. If your ISP does not pass
traffic on port 80, you will need to change the port the camera uses from 80 to something else, such as 800. Not all
routers are the same, so refer to your user manual for specific instructions on how to open ports.

camera through the Internet Explorer Web browser. To access the camera from the Internet, type the IP Address
of the router given to you by your ISP, followed by a colon, and the port number that you gave your camera (e.g.,
). It is not necessary to enter the colon and port number if you are using the default Web server
port 80. To access from a computer on your local (home) network, simply enter the local IP Address of the Camera
