Using & Configuring the DCS-5300 with a
NAT Router (continued)
Your WAN IP
Address will be
listed here.
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.
Open Virtual Server Ports to Enable Remote Image Viewing
The firewall security features built into the DI-614+ router prevent users from
accessing the video from the DCS-5300 over the Internet. The router connects
to the Internet over a series of numbered ports. The ports normally used by the
DCS-5300 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-614+ 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.
