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.

The

Static IP Address will also allow you to access your camera attached to your

router over the Internet

Your WAN IP

Address will be

listed here.

Using & Configuring the DCS-5300G with a

NAT Router (continued)

The firewall security features built into the DI-614+ router prevent users from

accessing the video from the

DCS-5300G

over the Internet. The router connects

to the Internet over a series of numbered ports. The ports normally used by the

DCS-5300G

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.

Important:

Some ISPs block access to port 80 and other commonly used

Internet ports to conserve bandwidth.

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 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.

Using & Configuring the DCS-5300G with a

NAT Router (continued)

Enter valid ports in the

Virtual

Server

section of your router

192.168.0.102

Follow these steps to configure your router’s Virtual Server settings:

Repeat the above steps adding ports

5001

,

5002

and

5003

to both the

Public

and

Private Port

sections.

A check mark appearing before the

camera name will indicate that the ports are enabled.

•

Click

Enabled

.

•

Enter a different name for each entry.

•

Enter your camera’s local IP Address (e.g.,

192.168.0.146

in

the example in step

d

on page 29) in the

Private IP

field.

•

Select

Both

Viewing Your Camera

After all the router settings have been entered correctly, a PC user inside or

outside your network will have access to the 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.,

http://205.163.122.96:83

). 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 followed by a colon and the port number

(e.g.,

http://205.163.122.96:83

).
