8 Clare Controls IP Network Camera User Guide
Dynamic IP connection
Apply a dynamic IP from an ISP. With the dynamic IP address, you can connect the
network camera to a modem or a router.
To connect the network camera via a router
1. Connect the network camera to the router.
2. In the camera, assign a LAN IP address, subnet mask, and gateway.
3. In the router, set the PPPoE user name and password.
4. Set port mapping, e.g., 80, 8000, 8200 and the 554 ports. The steps for port
mapping vary based on router. Call the router manufacturer for assistance with port
mapping.
Note: Refer to Appendix 2 for detailed information about 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
If the camera supports the PPPoE auto dial-up function, the camera will get a public IP
address. This is done by ADSL dial-up, after the camera is connected to a modem.
Configure the PPPoE parameters of the network camera.
Figure 6: Accessing the camera with dynamic IP
Note: The obtained IP address is dynamically assigned via PPPoE, so the IP address
will change after every reboot. To stop this from happening, obtain a domain name from
a DDNS provider – for example, www.example.myclarevision.com. Follow the below
steps for normal and private domain name resolution.
