Dynamic IP Connection
Before you start:
If you have a dynamic IP from an ISP, you can connect the IP network camera to a
modem or a router.
Connecting the IP network camera via a router
Steps:
1.
Connect the IP network camera to the router.
2.
In the camera, assign a LAN IP address, the subnet mask and the gateway. Refer
to
Section 2.1.2
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, 8200 and 554 ports. The steps for port mapping
may vary depending on the router.
5.
Apply a domain name from a domain name provider.
6.
Configure the DDNS settings in the router.
7.
Connect to the camera via the applied domain name.
Connecting the IP network camera via a modem
This camera supports the PPPoE auto dial-up function. The camera automatically 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 IP network camera. Refer to
Section
5.3.3
Configuring PPPoE Settings
for detailed configuration.

Accessing the Camera with Dynamic IP
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 below steps for
normal domain name resolution and private domain name resolution to solve the problem.
