D-Link Systems, Inc.

Using and Configuring the DCS-6620G with a Router

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-624 router prevent users from accessing the

video from the

DCS-6620G

over the Internet. The router connects to the Internet over a series

of numbered ports. The ports normally used by the

DCS-6620G

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-624 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.

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.

Viewing Your Camera

After all 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
