Direct High‐Speed Connection and One‐to‐One Connection. For more information of the

2.4.1

Router or LAN Connection

This is the most common connection in which the IP decoder is connected to a router and
allows multiple users on and off site to see the IP decoder on a LAN/WAN (Internet). The IP
decoder 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, please refer to 6. Remote Access to the
IP decoder. To set up port forwarding, please consult the manual of the router or refer to
Appendix B: Linksys & D-Link Port Forwarding.
