Section 4 - Configuration
4. Open Ports to Enable Remote Image Viewing (Port Forwarding)
The firewall security features built into the DIR-655 router prevent users from accessing the video from the DCS-5029L over the Internet. The router
connects to the Internet over a series of numbered ports. The ports normally used by the DCS-5029L are blocked from access over the Internet.
Therefore, these ports need to be made accessible over the Internet. This is accomplished using the Virtual Server function on the DIR-655 router.
The Virtual Server ports used by the camera must be opened through the router for remote access to your camera. Virtual Server is accessed by
clicking on the
Advanced
tab of the router screen.
Follow these steps to configure your router’s Virtual Server settings:
1. Click
Enabled
.
2. Enter a different name for each entry.
3. Enter your camera’s local IP address (e.g.,
192.168.0.120
) in the
Private IP
field.
4. Select
TCP
for HTTP port, both (
TCP and UDP
) for RTSP and both (
TCP and UDP
) for 5556 - 5559 ports.
5. If you are using the default camera port settings, enter
80
into the Public and Private Port section, click
Apply
.
6. Scheduling should be set to
Always
so that the camera images can be accessed at any time.
