Using & Configuring the DCS-5300 with a NAT Router (continued)

Follow these steps to configure your router’s Virtual Server settings:

•Click Enabled.

•Enter a unique name for each entry.

•Select Both under Protocol Type (TCP and UDP)

•Enter your camera’s local IP Address (e.g., 192.168.0.146 in

the example in step on page 29) in the Private IP field.

•If you are using the default camera port settings, enter 80 in to the Public and Private Port section, click Apply.

•Scheduling should be set to Always so that the camera images can be accessed at any time.

Repeat the above steps adding ports 5001, 5002 and 5003 to both the Public and Private Port sections. A check mark appearing before the entry name will indicate that the ports are enabled.

Important: Some ISPs block access to port 80. Be sure to check with your ISP so that you can open the appropriate ports accordingly. Some ISPs block traffic on commonly used ports to conserve bandwidth. If your ISP does not pass traffic on port 80, you will need to change the port the camera uses from 80 to something else, such as 800. Not all routers are the same, so refer to your user manual for specific instructions on how to open ports.

Enter valid ports in the Virtual Server section of your router
