Related settings and IP camera login

1.To view your IP camera via the intenet, open a browser and enter your external/public internet IP address into the address bar, then a colon sign (:), and then enter the port number (for example, 192.168.1.10:8090).That should bring up your camera’s login screen.

2.If you are using ADSL to access the Internet, you will need to obtain the IP camera’s current WAN IP address or configured DDNS.

There are two ways for you to obtain the WAN (Internet, public) IP address:

1.Perform an online search to obtain the WAN IP address - It is very easy for you to obtain your Internet (public) IP address if your IP camera and computer are on the same subnet. Open your browser and type in: http:// www.whatismyip.com or http://www.myip.cn. It will bring up your WAN’S IP address (see below).

2.Obtain from the router.

See the below diagram (Picture 27) for an example using aTP-LINK router. According to the router manual, the router’s IP address is 192.168.1.1.To log into the router, type 192.168.1.1 in your browser.You will see the status of the router and also find it’s WAN IP address. In this example, the WAN IP address is 116.24.235.122.

You will now be able to view the IP camera from the Internet.Type the correct WAN IP address into your browser. For example: http:// 116.24.235.122:8999

Note: Make sure the Port’s UPnP is available.You can open UPNP as follows. Go to the Settings page for your router (see full details in the user manual for your router) to enable UPnP. Or, enable the virtual mapping function. Add the IP address and service port for your device to the virtual mapping list.

Users can access the IP camera device via the Internet by inputting the IP address. For example, http:// 116.24.235.122:8999

With DDNS (Dynamic DNS) service, you can use the server of your choice and you will receive a dynamic IP address real-time that corresponds to that server. Simply put, whenever the user is on the Internet, the user will get an IP address. DDNS can ensure that a fixed domain name can access a user’s device.
