Note:
a. Broadband router is firewall in nature will block all accesses from Internet, you will need to
set virtual server (port forwarding) on your router, normally we will always suggest to use port
80 or port > 1024 for web port to avoid conflicts, port <1024 are frequently used by other
applications.
b. Check if the DNS & Gateway settings are correct, it is impossible to get out of your LAN if
wrong. (Gateway is the door, DNS is like "map", people won't go out home without knowing
where the door is or don't have map to find the way)
c. Always test the DDNS service from remote IP (that is outside of your LAN); some router will
block WAN port access from inside LAN.
The broadband router that connect Internet is similar to a "Security Guard" at the entrance of
LAN (Local area network), who will protect you from un-authorized intrusions from outside
(Internet), IP cameras located in LAN are well protected so that accesses from outside
(Internet) are not possible to pass router "Guard". Remote viewer won't be able to access
IP cameras behind router "Guard" from outside (Internet), unless you have gave
the correct
"commands"
, letting router "Guard" to allow outsiders access the cameras in LAN.
The correct "commands" are so-called "Virtual Server" or "Port Forwarding" settings on
various routers, please reference the routers user's manual to learn how to enable "Virtual
Server" http port & data port (default are: 80 & 5000) on your router. (“Port Forwarding" =
mapping WAN http port & data port (default are: 80 & 5000) to LAN IP address & ports )
Please see Appendix 4 FAQ for more details.
