First, set up the camera as described in section 5 and ensure that PC-1 can access

IP

Camera-1.

In

Figure 5, before the computers in WAN (PC-2, PC-3) can access the

IP

Camera-1, the camera must be configured through a WAN. Enabling port forwarding on

Router-1 will allow

IP

Camera-1 to be accessed through a WAN.

Open the Router Setting interface on PC-1. Note that the interfaces and port forwarding

settings for different routers may vary; please refer your router ’ s manual. For most

routers, the “ Virtual server ” option can be found in the setting interface. Fill the

IP

address and port of

IP

Camera-1 into the corresponding space. Figure 10 is an example.

Figure 10

Select the “ status ” option and note the WAN

IP

address. Enter the

IP

address in the

browser of PC-1.

If

IP

Camera-1 can be accessed via PC-1, the port forwarding was

successful. Note that PC-2 and PC-3 can now also access

IP

Camera-1.

The

WAN

IP

address is allocated by your ISP; please make sure to enter the

exact WAN

IP

address.

If

PC-2 and PC-3 aren ’ t in the same WAN area,

accessing

IP

Camera-1 will be forbidden.

Loftek CXS 2200 User Manual

To

set up multiple

IP

Cameras into a WAN, every device should be set up with

port forwarding.

In

order to distinguish these devices, every device must use a

unique port. For ports other than 80, user should designate the port after the

IP

address with a colon. Example: http://202.96.82.177:81 .

In

Figure 5, Router-1 is allocated a

To

access the camera, a dynamic domain name server (DDNS) must be

configured.

Camera-1 can continuously update the

IP

configuration to the DDNS, and

the DDNS can recognize the

WAN

IP

address of router-1, which is connected to

IP

Camera-1. The WAN IP address can be searched on the DDNS by domain name. Herein,

the domain name substitutes the dynamic
