Using the Camera with a Router

If you connect your camera behind a router and want to view video from the Internet, you must open (forward) ports to your camera.

You will need to statically assign the IP address and network information in the camera. Some routers will allow you to set a “reservation” and assign an IP address to the camera automatically. Please refer to your router documentation for more information.

After you have completed the setup of the DCS-5605/DCS-5635 outlined in the Quick Install Guide you will have an operating camera that has an assigned IP Address. Because you are using a router to share the Internet with one or more PCs, the IP Address assigned to the camera will be a local IP Address. This allows viewing within your Local Area Network (LAN) until the router is configured to allow remote viewing of the camera over the Internet.

Step 1 - Log into the camera’s web-based configuration by entering its IP address in a web browser such as Internet Explorer. Step 2 - Enter the username admin and enter your password.

Step 3 - The Live Video page will appear. Click the Setup tab and then click Network Setup on the left side. The following page will appear.

Step 4 - Click Static IP Address and then enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask,

Default Gateway (usually the IP address of your router), and the DNS servers.

Step 5 - At the bottom, write down the ports listed. If you have more than one camera, you will need to have different port numbers for each. Enter the port numbers and click Save Settings.

Step 6 - You must now log into your router and navigate to the page that allows you to open or forward ports. Enter the listed ports and forward to the IP address of your camera.

By default the HTTP Port is 80 (TCP) and the RTSP Port is 554 (TCP/UDP).

This feature is particularly beneficial for monitoring entrances or driveways at night.

In terms of connectivity, the DCS-5605 and DCS-5635 support Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing for easy installation by transmitting both power and data through a single Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need for additional power sources and simplifies the setup process.

The cameras also feature built-in motion detection capabilities, which alert users when any movement is detected in the monitored area. This not only enhances security but also saves storage space by only recording when necessary. Additionally, users can set up custom motion detection zones to focus on specific areas of interest, further refining the surveillance process.

Users can access the live feeds from these cameras remotely via a web interface or mobile app, making monitoring convenient and efficient. The D-Link DCS-5605 and DCS-5635 are compatible with various security systems and can easily integrate into existing setups.

With robust construction and weather-resistant designs, both models are suitable for outdoor use. This makes them ideal for protecting property or assets in various environmental conditions.

In summary, the D-Link DCS-5605 and DCS-5635 offer unparalleled surveillance capabilities with their high-resolution imaging, night vision, PoE support, and versatile connectivity options. These cameras are perfect for those seeking reliable security solutions that can be tailored to individual monitoring needs.
