5.2 Networking the Camera - WAN
This section explains how to connect the network the camera via WAN using a static IP or a dynamic IP.
STATIC IP CONNECTION
Before you start:
Please apply a static IP from your ISP (Internet Service Provider). Using a static IP address, you can connect the
network camera via a router or connect it to the WAN directly.
Connecting the network camera via a router:
Steps:
1. Connect the network camera to the router.
2. Assign a LAN IP address, the subnet mask and the gateway. Refer to
3xLOGIC All-in-One PC Setup Tool –
for instructions on configuring a LAN connection.
3. Save the LAN IP address configured in Step 2 as the static IP in the router.
4. Set port mapping, e.g., 80, 8000, and 554 ports. The steps for port mapping vary according to the
different routers. Please call the router manufacturer for assistance with port mapping.
5. Visit the network camera through a web browser or the client software over the internet.
