Connecting the Camera to the Network
There are three methods to connect the IP camera to the network:
Router or LAN Connection
,
Direct
High-Speed Connection
and
One-to-One Connection

Router or LAN connection
This is the most common connection in which the IP camera is connected to a router and allows multiple
users on and off site to see the IP camera on a LAN / WAN (Internet). The camera must be assigned an IP
address that is compatible with its LAN. By setting up port forwarding on the router, you can remotely
access the cameras from outside of the LAN via the Internet. To remotely access the Web interface of
the IP camera, please refer to
