The Status tab provides the following configuration option: Device Info.
AV Control Port:
AV Streaming Port:
Note: You MUST also set up your router/gateway for Port
Mapping; this will enable remote viewing of your camera via
the Internet.
Please refer to your router’s instruction manual on
how to open up ports.
For additional help on configuring your
camera to work with your router, please refer to the next section
on setting up your camera for use with a router. For installing
multiple cameras, ONE port per camera must be opened on
your router, the Web server (HTTP) port.
This is the port that allows the user to connect to synchronize
the camera’s audio and video. By default the port is set to 5000.
You may change the port number if using multiple cameras.
This is the port used to stream video. By default the port is
set to 5001. You may change the port number if using multiple
cameras.

Installing the DCS-950G Behind a Router
1)
Identify Your Camera on the Network
Once you are logged into the camera via a Web browser on your network PC, click on
the
Advanced
Tab, and select
Video
. Enter a unique
Camera Name
. These settings are
important if you are installing several cameras on your network.
2)
Assign a Local IP Address for Your Camera
A Local IP Address is required to configure your camera and to view your camera within
your local (home) network. You may use the default camera IP Address of 192.168.0.20.
If you wish to use a different IP Address, be sure that the camera settings correspond
to your network settings. The Default Gateway will be the IP Address of your router’s
Local IP Address (i.e.192.168.0.1 if you are using a D-Link router)

D-Link Systems, Inc.
Installing the DCS-950G Behind a Router
Assigning and Opening the HTTP Port on the
DCS-950G
(For Installing Multiple Cameras)
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.
3)
Open the HTTP Port
The
HTTP Port
option is used when multiple cameras are being installed behind a
single public IP address and will be accessed remotely OR for using a port other than
the default port for image viewing. For each additional camera that is installed, you must
assign the appropriate Web server port for each camera to enable remote viewing.
By default, port
80
(Web server port) is open. If these ports are available for use, you
DO NOT have to open a second port and can proceed to the next section. If port 80
is
not
available (for example, if you are already using port 80 to run a Web server or
your ISP blocks access on port 80*) you MUST open a second port and designate a
new Web server port (800, 801, 802,…etc) and new AV Control and Streaming ports
(5002, 5003,...etc). IMPORTANT: Be sure to take note of these settings since these
same settings will be used to configure your router.
*
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 800. 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.
