1.3 Setting the Camera over the WAN (Optional)
Purpose:
This section explains how to connect the camera to the WAN with a static IP or a dynamic IP.
1.3.1 Static IP Connection
Before you start:
Apply a static IP from an ISP (Internet Service Provider). With the static IP address, you can connect the
camera via a router or connect it to the WAN directly.
Connecting the camera via a router
Steps:
1. Connect the camera to the router.
2. Assign a LAN IP address, the subnet mask and the gateway. Refer to Section 1.2 Activating the
Camera for detailed IP address configuration of the camera.
3. Save the static IP in the router.
4. Set port mapping, E.g., 80, 8000 and 554 ports. The steps for port mapping vary depending on
different routers. Call the router manufacturer for assistance with port mapping.
Note:
Refer to Appendix 2 for detailed information about port mapping.
5. Visit the camera through a web browser or the client software over the internet.
