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. By setting up port forwarding on the router,
you can remotely access the cameras from outside of the LAN via the Internet. To remotely access
the Web interface of the IP camera, please refer to 7.3.2 DDNS. To set up port forwarding, please
consult the manual of the router.
