Connecting the network camera via a modem
Purpose:
This camera supports the PPPoE auto dial-up function. The camera gets a public IP address
by ADSL dial-up after the camera is connected to a modem. You need to configure the PPPoE
parameters of the network camera. Refer to
Section 7.1.3
Configuring PPPoE Settings
for
detailed configuration.
Figure 2-12 Accessing the Camera with Dynamic IP
Note:
The obtained IP address is dynamically assigned via PPPoE, so the IP address always
changes after rebooting the 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 the steps
below for normal domain name resolution and private domain name resolution to solve the
problem.
