Security
At this point it is highly recommended that you click on the Configuration button on the Home
screen, and then the Tools tab to bring you to the Admin screen. Enter a password for security
purposes.
Security
To ensure the highest security and prevent unauthorized use of the PTZ Internet Camera, the
Administrator has the exclusive privilege to access the System Administration settings to allow
users entry and authorize privileges for all users. The PTZ Internet Camera supports
multi-level password protection/access to the PTZ Internet Camera that can be restricted
to defined users who have a User Name and User Password, which is assigned by the
Administrator.
The Administrator can release a public user name and password so that when remote users
access the PTZ Internet Camera they will have the right to view the image transmitted by the
PTZ Internet Camera.
When the PTZ Internet Camera is used for the first time, it is highly recommended that the
Administrator set the Administrator Password to constrain user access to the PTZ Internet
Camera since the Default settings are Null String (no password). Once the Password is
defined, only the Administrator has access to the management of the PTZ Internet Camera.
This procedure should be done as soon as possible since the security features of the PTZ
Internet Camera will not be enabled until the Administrator Password is defined.

Using and Configuring the DCS-6620 with a
Router
D-Link’s DCS-6620 is a versatile and cost effective PTZ Internet Camera offering both video and
audio monitoring. It can also serve as a powerful surveillance system in security applications.
The DCS-6620 can be used with any wired or wireless router. This section explains how to view
the camera from either the Internet or from inside your internal network.
Materials Needed:
• 1 DCS-6620 PTZ Internet Camera
• 1 Ethernet Cable
• A Wired or Wireless router such as the D-Link DI-624 Wireless Router
• Ethernet based PC for system configuration
SETTING UP THE DCS-6620 FOR USE BEHIND A ROUTER
Installing a DCS-6620 PTZ Internet Camera on your network is an easy 4-step procedure:
Assign a local IP Address to your PTZ Internet Camera
View the PTZ Internet Camera Using Your Internet Explorer Web browser
Access the Router with Your Web browser
Open Virtual Server Ports for Your Router (Enable Remote Viewing)
Using and Configuring the DCS-6620 with a Router
This section is designed to walk you through the setup process for installing your camera
behind a router and enable remote video viewing. For the basic setup of the DCS-6620, follow
the steps outlined in the Quick Installation Guide.
After you have completed the setup of the DCS-6620 outlined in the Quick Installation Guide you
will have an operating camera that has an assigned IP Address. Because you are using a
router to share the Internet with one or more PCs, the IP Address assigned to the PTZ Internet
Camera will be a local IP Address. This allows viewing within your Local Area Network (LAN)
until the router is configured to allow remote viewing of the camera over the Internet.
Assign a Local IP Address for Your Camera
Run the Installation Wizard program from the CD included with the DCS-6620. Follow the steps
in the Quick Installation Guide to configure the DCS-6620. The camera will be assigned a local
IP Address that allows it to be recognized by the router.

of the DI-624 by following the steps outlined in the DI-624 Quick Installation Guide.
Access Your Router on Your Web Browser
If you have cable or DSL service, you will most likely have a dynamically assigned WAN IP
Address. ‘Dynamic’ means that your router’s WAN IP address can change from time to time
depending on your ISP. A dynamic WAN IP Address identifies your router on the public network
and allows it to access the Internet. To find out what your router’s WAN IP Address is, go to
the Status screen on your router and locate the WAN information for your router. As shown on
the next page the WAN IP Address will be listed. This will be the address that you will need to
type in your web browser to view your camera over the Internet. Be sure to uncheck the Reset
IP address at next boot button at the top of the screen after modifying the IP address. Failure to
do so will reset the IP address when you restart your computer.
