4.3 Install the camera behind a NAT Router
Once installed, the camera is accessible on your LAN. To access the camera from the Internet
you must configure your broadband router to allow incoming data traffic to the camera. If the
camera is installed on the LAN with a router, then it may get a dynamic IP address from the
DHCP server. However, if the camera wants to be accessed from the WAN, its IP address needs
to be set up as fixed IP, also the port forwarding or Virtual Server function of router needs to be
set up.
However, if your NAT router supports UPnP feature, it can be very easy to achieve NAT traversal
automatically. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature, which will attempt to automatically
configure the router to allow access to the camera.
Installing the camera with an UPnP router on your network is an easy 3–step procedure:
Step1: Enable UPnP option of your NAT router
Step2: Enable UPnP NAT traversal option of the camera (default)
Step1: Enable UPnP option of your NAT router
To use UPnP IGD function (NAT traversal), you need to make sure the UPnP function is enabled
in your router. Most new home routers should support this function. This feature is not enabled by
default in all routers. Please check user’s manual of your NAT router for detail.
