Using & Configuring the DCS-2100G
with a NAT Router
D-Link's DCS-2100G is a versatile and cost effective Internet Camera offering both
video and audio monitoring. It can also serve as a powerful surveillance system in
security applications. The DCS-2100G can be used with any wired or 802.11g wireless
router. This section explains how to view the camera from either the Internet or from
inside your internal network.
Materials Needed:
1 DCS-2100G Internet Camera
1 Ethernet Cable
A Wired or Wireless router such as the D-Link DI-624 Wireless Router
Ethernet based PC for system configuration
SETTING UP THE DCS-2100G FOR USE BEHIND A ROUTER
Installing a DCS-2100G Internet Camera on your network is an easy 4–step procedure:
1 Assign a local IP Address to your Internet Camera
2 View the Internet Camera Using Your Internet Explorer Web browser
3 Access the Router with Your Web browser
4 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-2100G, follow the steps outlined in the Quick Installation Guide.
After you have completed the setup of the DCS-2100G 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 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.
1 Assign a Local IP Address for Your Camera
Run the Installation Wizard program from the CD included with the DCS-2100G. Follow
the steps in the Quick Installation Guide to configure the DCS-2100G. The camera
will be assigned a local IP Address that allows it to be recognized by the router. Write
down this IP Address for future reference.
