3.2.2 Dynamic IP Connection
Before you start:
Please apply a dynamic IP from an ISP. With the dynamic IP address, you can connect
the network zoom camera to a modem or a router.
Connecting the network zoom camera via a router
Steps:
1.
Connect the network zoom camera to the router.
2.
In the zoom camera, assign a LAN IP address, the subnet mask and the gateway.
Refer to Section
3.1.2 Detecting and Changing the IP Address
for detailed LAN
configuration.
3.
In the router, set the PPPoE user name, password and confirm the password.
4.
Set port mapping. E.g. 80, 8000 and 554 ports. The steps for port mapping vary
depending on different routers. Please call the router manufacturer for
assistance with port mapping.
Note:
Refer to Appendix 2 for detailed information about port mapping.
5.
Apply a domain name from a domain name provider.
6.
Configure the DDNS settings in the setting interface of the router.
7.
Visit the zoom camera via the applied domain name.
Connecting the network zoom camera via a modem
Purpose:
This zoom camera supports the PPPoE auto dial-up function. The zoom camera gets a
public IP address by ADSL dial-up after the zoom camera is connected to a modem.
You need to configure the PPPoE parameters of the network zoom camera. Refer to
Section
6.3.3 Configuring PPPoE Settings
for detailed configuration.
Figure 3-6 Accessing the Zoom camera with Dynamic IP
Note:
The obtained IP address is dynamically assigned via PPPoE, so the IP address
always changes after rebooting the zoom camera. To solve the inconvenience of the
dynamic IP, you need to get a domain name from the DDNS provider (E.g.
DynDns.com). Please follow below steps for normal domain name resolution and
private domain name resolution to solve the problem.
