5. Network Connections
You can use one of the methods below to connect the camera to the network.
Direct High-Speed Connection
In a Direct High-Speed Connection, the camera connects directly to a modem without the need for a
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”,
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 Settings
in 7.1.1 Network in the User’s Manual.
Cat 5
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:

Router or LAN Connection
This is the most common connection in which the IP camera is connected to a router and allows
multiple users on and off site to see the IP camera on a LAN/WAN (Internet). The camera must be
assigned an IP address that is compatible with its LAN. By setting up port forwarding on the router,
you can remotely access the cameras from outside of the LAN via the Internet. To remotely access
the Web interface of the IP camera, please refer to DDNS Settingsin 7.1.1 Network in the User’s
Manual. To set up port forwarding, please consult the manual of the router.
