router. You need to set the static or dynamic WAN IP address assigned by your ISP (Internet Service
Provider) in the camera’s configuration web pages. To access the camera, just type
“http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx”, where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address given by your ISP. If you have a
dynamic IP address, this connection may require that you use DDNS for a reliable connection.
Please refer to DDNS Settingsin 7.1.1 Network in the User’s Manual.

Straight Through Cable
High-speed modem
Internet
One-to-One Connection (Directly from PC to IP camera)
You can connect directly without using a switch, router or modem. However, only the PC connected
to the camera will be able to view the IP camera. You will also have to manually assign a compatible
IP address to both the computer and the IP camera. Unless the PC has another network connection,
the IP camera will be the only network device visible to the PC. See the diagram below:
