SETTING UP THE DCS-6620 FOR USE BEHIND A ROUTER
Installing a DCS-6620 PTZ Internet Camera on your network is an easy 4-step procedure:
 Assign a local IP Address to your PTZ Internet Camera
 View the PTZ Internet Camera Using Your Internet Explorer Web browser
 Access the Router with Your Web browser
 Open Virtual Server Ports for Your Router (Enable Remote Viewing)
This section is designed to walk you through the setup process for installing your camera
behind a router and enable remote video viewing. For the basic setup of the DCS-6620, follow
the steps outlined in the Quick Installation Guide.
After you have completed the setup of the DCS-6620 outlined in the Quick Installation Guide you
will have an operating camera that has an assigned IP Address. Because you are using a
router to share the Internet with one or more PCs, the IP Address assigned to the PTZ Internet
Camera will be a local IP Address. This allows viewing within your Local Area Network (LAN)
until the router is configured to allow remote viewing of the camera over the Internet.

Assign a Local IP Address for Your Camera
Run the Installation Wizard program from the CD included with the DCS-6620. Follow the steps
in the Quick Installation Guide to configure the DCS-6620. The camera will be assigned a local
IP Address that allows it to be recognized by the router.
