Steps:
1.
Connect the network camera to LAN side of the router.
2.
Assign a LAN IP address, the subnet mask and the gateway, consistent with the router LAN settings. The
gateway address is the LAN IP address of the router. Refer to
Section 2.1.2
Detecting and Changing
the IP Address
for discussion of detailed IP address configuration of the camera.
3.
Program the static IP (entire configuration: IP, subnet, gateway and DNS settings) into the WAN settings
for the router.
4.
Set port mapping (or forwarding), for the camera ports (e.g., 80, 8000, and 554), so that you may access
these camera ports through the router. The steps for port mapping vary according to the different routers.
Please call the router manufacturer for assistance with port mapping.
Note:
Refer to Appendix 2 for detailed information about port mapping.
5.
Connect to the network camera over the internet using a web browser or the OMNI CMS client software.
