Open Virtual Server Ports To Enable Remote Image Viewing - D-Link SECURICAM DCS-910 User Manual

Section  - Security
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.

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-910/920
over the Internet. The router connects to the Internet over a series of numbered ports. The ports normally used by the
DCS-910/920 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.
Follow these steps to configure your router's Virtual Server settings:
1. Click Enabled.
2. Enter a different name for each entry.
3. Enter your camera's local IP Address (e.g., 192.168.0.120 in the example in step 2) in the Private IP
field.
4. Select TCP for HTTP port and both (TCP and UDP) for the Video channel port.
5. If you are using the default camera port settings, enter 80 into the Public and Private Port section, click Apply.
6. Scheduling should be set to Always so that the camera images can be accessed at any time.
