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-5300W with a
NAT Router (continued)
The firewall security features built into the DI-614+ router prevent users from
accessing the video from the
DCS-5300W
over the Internet.
The router connects
to the Internet over a series of numbered ports. The ports normally used by the
DCS-5300W
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.

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.,
). 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. (e.g.,
192.168.0.146
)
.
