Figure 2.5 

– The Port Settings page. 

 

 
This page allows you to change the Media port and HTTP port, however, remember that the two 
ports need to be different. 
 
Once you change the Media port, click save to save the settings, you may need to wait about 10 
seconds for the information to be updated. 
 
 

 
 
 

 
Firstly, please check to see if your ISP (Internet Service Provider) provides a Static WAN IP address 
service or a Dynamic WAN IP address service. This guide has been divided into two different 
sections of setting up remote access, one for Static IP addresses and one for Dynamic IP 
addresses. 
 

If your ISP provides a Static WAN IP Address please go to Chapter 5.1 (Page 25). 
If your ISP provides Dynamic WAN IP Address please go to Chapter 5.2 directly (Page 26). 
 

 

5.1 Static IP Addresses 

Users who have static IP addresses do not need to set DDNS service settings for remote access. 
When you have finished connecting the camera using the LAN IP address and port forwarding, you 
can access the camera directly from the Internet using the WAN IP address and port number. 
 
 

How to Obtain the WAN IP address from a public website 

To obtain your WAN IP address, enter the following URL in your browser: 

http://www.whatismyip.com

.The webpage at this address will show you the current WAN IP.
