Using and Conﬁguring the DCS-6620G with a Router

Determine Your Router’s IP Address (WAN)

Note: Because a dynamic WAN IP can change from time to time depending on your ISP,
you may want to obtain a Static IP address from your ISP. A Static IP address is a ﬁxed IP
address that will not change over time and will be more convenient for you to use to access
your camera from a remote location.

Open Virtual Server Ports to Enable Remote Image Viewing

The ﬁrewall security features built into the DI-624 router prevent users from accessing the
video from the

DCS-6620G over the Internet. The router connects to the Internet over a series

of numbered ports. The ports normally used by the

DCS-6620G are blocked from access over

the Internet. Therefore, these ports need to be made accessible over the Internet. This is
accomplished using the

Virtual Server function on the DI-624 router. The Virtual Server ports

used by the camera must be opened through the router for remote access to your camera.
Virtual Server is accessed by clicking on the

Advanced tab of the router screen.
