Installing the DCS-950G Behind a Router

Router Setup and Installation

The following steps generally apply to any router that you have on your network.

The

D-Link DI-624 is used as an example to clarify the configuration process. Your WAN Ip

Address information will be listed on following window.

Determine Your Router’s WAN IP Address

Note:

Because a dynamic WAN IP address 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. You can use DDNS to obtain an

IP address, please refer to page 34 for more information.
