We have been able to access the camera within the LAN network, but how to access the camera
via WAN or via internet? We have to do Remote Access Settings before we want to access
the camera outside the LAN network.
1) Default HTTP Port No.: 80
All the cameras’ default http no. is 80. For example, if the LAN IP link of the camera is
http://192.168.1.35, it says that the camera’s http port no. is 80, if the LAN IP link of the camera is
http://192.168.1.35:88, it says that the camera’s http port no. is 88. Port 80 could be blocked
when accessing via internet, we need to change port 80 to another one like 88, or 85 as
you like, which will not be conflict with other existing ports like 25, 21.

First of all, please make sure whether your ISP (Internet Service Provider) provides a
Static WAN IP address service or a Dynamic WAN IP address service.
We divide two sections of the Remote Access Settings by Static WAN IP Service
and Dynamic WAN IP Service.
If your ISP provides Static WAN IP Service please go to Section A (Column below).
If your ISP provides Dynamic WAN IP Service please go to Section B directly (Page 11).
①Step 1, Get to know the WAN IP address of the router
Login the third party website http://www.whatismyip.com to obtain the WAN IP of the router. Then
it will tell you the WAN IP address of your router showed as below. See examples as Fig5.2, it
shows the WAN IP of the router is 183.37.19.183
Fig5.2 Get to you the WAN IP address of the router
②Step 2, Make Port Forwarding of the HTTP Port of the camera
What is port forwarding?
If you have no concept of Port Forwarding, please open the webpage
http://portforward.com/help/portforwarding.htm to learn some knowledge of Port Forwarding.
How to do port forwarding within the router
Example: The camera’s LAN IP address is http://192.168.1.35:88 ,
Firstly, login the router, goes to the menu of Port Forwarding or Port Trigger (or named
Virtue Server on some brands of router). Take Linksys brand router as an example, Login
