Connecting the Camera to the Network

There are three methods to connect the IP camera to the network: Router or LAN Connection, Direct
High-Speed Connection and One-to-One Connection.
Router or LAN connection
This is the most common connection in which the IP camera is connected to a router and allows
multiple users on and off site to see the IP camera on a LAN/WAN (Internet). The camera must be
assigned an IP address that is compatible with its LAN. To remotely access the Web interface of the IP
camera, please refer to
Direct High-Speed Connection
In a Direct High-Speed Connection, the camera connects directly to a modem without the need for
a router. You need to set the static or dynamic WAN IP address assigned by your ISP (Internet
Service Provider) in the camera's configuration web pages. To access the camera, just type
"http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx", where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address given by your ISP. If you have a
dynamic IP address, this connection may require that you use DDNS for a reliable connection.
