5.6. Internet access
To be able to access the security camera over the Internet you will fi rst need the camera’s
Internet address (public IP address). You have four diff erent ways of fi nding out the relevant
IP address.
If a separate Internet address (domain) has been registered for the camera (see Section 6.8.,
DDNS Settings
), this can be used to access the camera.
You can have the public IP address sent to you by email. To do this, follow the instructions in
Section 6.9.,
Email Settings.
Use your browser to go to the page
http://supracam.net/ip.aspx
and the local network’s IP
address will then be displayed (to do this you must use a computer on the same network to
which the camera is connected).
The public IP address can generally only be used to access the security camera from outside
the local network. To access the camera directly from the internal network, use the camera’s
local network address.
Access the camera via your browser using the address found. Accessing correctly will cause
the log on window in the camera software to open. The camera is shipped with the user
account set to “admin” (no password required).
Should an error occur while accessing via the Internet, this is probably due to your
computer’s fi rewall preventing communication with the security camera. If this is the case
you will have to change the router settings in such a way as to allow the camera to be
accessed over the Internet.
The following example shows which settings have to be made to a router in order to be
able to connect to the security camera over the Internet. As router settings menus can vary
widely, it is not possible here to off er a detailed description of how to solve the problem in
all cases – please refer to your router’s documentation and look for how to enable specifi c
devices to communicate with the router.
Essentially, to do this the security camera has to be allocated a new input port within the
router via which access is permitted. This newly allocated input port is then forwarded to the
camera.
