Add the camera to the intended subnet
Via the web interface of the camera, you can change its network settings to add it to the
subnet it will be used in.
1
On the Network page, click the TCP/IP tab.
2
Set the IP address of the camera to the desired subnet.
3
Click Save.
4
Reboot the camera.
5
(Optional) Configure the network settings of the computer to assign it to the subnet set
in step 2.
With both devices on the same subnet, you can reopen communication between the
computer and the camera.

Connect the camera to a WAN
This section explains how to connect the network camera to the WAN with a static or dynamic
IP address.
Static IP connection
Before you start, obtain a static IP address from an Internet Service Provider (ISP). With the
static IP address, you can connect the network camera via a router.
To connect the network camera via a router
1
Establish a connection between the network camera and the router.
2
Assign a LAN IP address, subnet mask and gateway address.
For more information about the IP address configuration of the camera, see Connect the
camera to a LAN.
3
Save the static IP in the router.
4
Set the port mapping.
Use 80, 8000, and 554 as ports, for example.
The steps for port mapping vary according to the different routers. If necessary, contact
the router manufacturer for assistance with port mapping
5
Visit the network camera through a web browser or client software over the internet.
Directly connect the network camera with a static IP address
You can also save the static IP on the camera and directly connect it to the internet without
using a router.
