2.2.2 Dynamic IP Connection
Before you start:
Please apply a dynamic IP from an ISP. With the dynamic IP address, you can connect
the network camera to a modem or a router.
●Connecting the network camera via a router
Steps:
1. Connect the network camera to the router.
2. In the camera, assign a LAN IP address, the subset 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 Poe user name, password and confirm the password.
4. Set port mapping. The steps for port mapping vary depending on different routers.
Please call the router manufacturer for assistance with port mapping.
Note: Refer to Appendix 2 for detailed information about port mapping.
5. Apply a domain name from a domain name provider.
6. Configure the DDNS settings in the setting interface of the router.
7. Visit the camera via the applied domain name.
●Connecting the network camera via a modem
Purpose:
This camera supports the PPPoE auto dial-up function. The camera 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 network camera. Refer to Section 5.3.3
Configuring PPPoE Settings for detailed configuration.
Figure 2-6 Accessing the Camera with Dynamic IP
Note: 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 (Example:
DynDns.com). Please follow below steps for normal domain name resolution and
private domain name resolution to solve the problem.
