DYNAMIC IP CONNECTION
Before you start:
Please apply a dynamic IP from your ISP. With a dynamic IP address, you can connect the network camera to a
modem or a router.
Connecting the network camera via a router:
Steps:
1. Connect the network camera to the router.
2. In the camera settings, assign a LAN IP address, the subnet mask and the gateway. Refer to
in-One PC Setup Tool – Wired Connection Setup
for instructions on configuring a LAN connection.
3. In the router, set the PPPoE user name, password and confirm the password.
4. Set port mapping. E.g. 80, 8000, and 554 ports. The steps for port mapping vary depending on different
routers. Please call the router manufacturer for assistance with port mapping.
5. Apply a domain name from a domain name provider.
6. Configure the DDNS settings in the setting interface of the router.
7. Visit the camera via the applied domain name.
Connecting the network camera via a modem:
This camera supports the PPPoE auto dial-up function. The camera gets a public IP address by ADSL dial-up after
the camera is connected to a modem. You need to configure the PPPoE parameters of the network camera. Refer
for detailed configuration.

Accessing the Camera with Dynamic IP
NOTE:
The obtained IP address is dynamically assigned via PPPoE, so the IP address always changes after rebooting
the camera. To solve the inconvenience of the dynamic IP, you need to get a domain name from the DDNS
provider (E.g. DynDns.com). Please follow the steps below for normal domain name resolution and private domain
name resolution to solve the problem.
