Internet connection via a router

Before setting up the Network Camera over the Internet, make sure you have a router and follow the steps below�

1� Connect your Network Camera behind a router, the Internet environment is illustrated below�

Regarding how to obtain your IP address, please refer to Software Installation on page 14 for details�

IP address : 192.168.0.3 Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0 Default router : 192.168.0.1

LAN (Local Area Network) Router IP address : 192.168.0.1

2� In this case, if the Local Area Network (LAN) IP address of your Network Camera is 192�168�0�3, please forward the following ports for the Network Camera on the router�

■ HTTP port: default is 80; secondary HTTP port is 8080

■ RTSP port: default is 554

■ RTP port for audio: default is 5558

■ RTCP port for audio: default is 5559

■ RTP port for video: default is 5556

■ RTCP port for video: default is 5557

If you have changed the port numbers on the Network page, please open the ports accordingly on your router� For information on how to forward ports on the router, please refer to your router’s user’s manual�

3� Find out the public IP address of your router provided by your ISP (Internet Service Provider)� Use the public IP and the secondary HTTP port to access the Network Camera from the Internet� Please refer to Network Type on page 57 for details�

For example, your router and IP settings may look like this:

Device IP Address: internal

Public IP of router 122�146�57�120 LAN IP of router 192�168�2�1 Camera 1 192�168�2�10:80 122�146�57�120:8000 Camera 2 192�168�2�11:80 122�146�57�120:8001 ��

port

IP Address: External Port (Mapped port on the router)

VIVOTEK

Congure the router, virtual server or rewall, so that the router can forward any data coming into a precongured port number to a network camera on the private network, and

allow data from the camera to be transmitted to the outside of the network over the same path�

From Forward to 122�146�57�120:8000 192�168�2�10:80 122�146�57�120:8001 192�168�2�11:80 ��

When properly congured, you can access a camera behind the router using the HTTP

request as follows: http://122�146�57�120:8000

If you change the port numbers on the Network conguration page, please open the ports

accordingly on your router� For example, you can open a management session with your

router to congure access through the router to the camera within your local network. Please consult your network administrator for router conguration if you have troubles with the conguration.

For more information with network conguration options (such as that of streaming ports),

please refer to Conguration > Network Settings� VIVOTEK also provides the automatic port forwarding feature as an NAT traversal function with the precondition that your router must support the UPnP port forwarding feature�

Internet connection with static IP

Choose this connection type if you are required to use a static IP for the Network Camera�

Please refer to LAN setting on page 57 for details�

Internet connection via PPPoE (Point-to-Point over Ethernet)

Choose this connection type if you are connected to the Internet via a DSL Line� Please refer to PPPoE on page 58 for details�
