Access Your Router on Your Web Browser
If you have cable or DSL service, you will most likely have a dynamically assigned WAN IP Address.
‘Dynamic’ means that your router’s WAN IP address can change from time to time depending on your
ISP. A dynamic WAN IP Address identifies your router on the public network and allows it to access the
Internet. To find out what your router’s WAN IP Address is, go to the Status screen on your router and
locate the WAN information for your router. As shown on the next page the WAN IP Address will be
listed. This will be the address that you will need to type in your web browser to view your camera over
the Internet. Be sure to uncheck the Reset IP address at next boot button at the top of the screen after
modifying the IP address. Failure to do so will reset the IP address when you restart your computer.
These are the port settings for your
camera. If necessary, these ports can
be changed if they are already in use by
other devices (e.g. in a multiple camera
environment).
