Before You Start

This section will help you in setting up and configuring your Camera(s) and PC(s) to be able to view the video images from remote locations on the Internet.

NOTE We assume that you already have the camera modules hooked up and working and

that you can view video from within your Local Area Network (LAN).

If not, please consult the Quick Start guide or the Lorex Manual before you continue

with remote access setup.

This document will help you do the following:

• Configure your router to enable access from outside the LAN

• Register for the Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS) from Strategic Vista

• Configure the Lorex Module to operate with DDNS

• Set up a password to secure your camera module

• Configure the Lorex Player to reach the camera module using the DDNS.

1 Configure your router to enable access from the Internet

To view video images remotely across the Internet involves setting up your broadband router, see Figure 1.

The example shown here uses the DLink-624 Wireless broadband Router.

Step 1: Log into your Router's Administration Server

Use a web browser on a computer that is connected to the LAN side of the router to access your broadband router.

Typically this will be at an IP Address such as 192.168.1.1 or maybe 192.168.0.1. Consult your router manual for exact details.

(1) Enter the username and password for your particular router – by default the

DLink-624 uses 'admin' as the username and the password is blank.

Figure 2: Password Prompt

(2) Select a screen display that provides device and/or network status. In the

case of the DLink-624 it will appear as follows:

Figure 3: WAN Status

The status and external IP Address of the router are clearly shown in the WAN section.

Step 2: Set up the Static IP address

Some routers, including the DLink-624, have the capability to fix the internal IP addresses that are distributed using DHCP.

If your router supports this feature, you will want to set it up to ensure that the internal IP address never changes.

In the case of the Dlink-624, click the 'DHCP' button and then click on the DHCP Server 'Enabled' radio button. From the DHCP client dropdown list select the entry that corresponds to the Lorex Module and click on the 'clone' button. Click on the Static DHCP 'Enabled' radio button. Then click on the 'Apply' button to save this configuration.

Figure 4: Set Static IP Address

If your router does not support the Static DHCP feature, then you will want to set the IP Address explicitly.

Choose a new address value that is not already assigned and is outside of the range of the DHCP server to avoid address conflict. (i.e. does not fall within the Starting and Ending IP Address).

Use the new address in the following setup. If you do re-assign the IP address, remember to also set it in the Lorex Module using the Lorex Utility (see the manual on how to do this).
