Step 4: in the [RTSP port] field enter the RTSP port number that you want to use to access
the camera over the Internet.
Step 5: click [Save] to save the changes.
IMPORTANT:
It is necessary to reboot the camera for the changes to take effect.
IMPORTANT:
When using port forwarding, the port number values of the camera and the router must match.
To access the camera over the Internet, use the IP address provided by your ISP (IP
address of the router’s WAN port) and a certain port number.
For instance, the WAN IP address is 77.108.73.169 and the HTTP port number is 10000. In
this case, you need to enter the following in the address field of your browser:
http://77.108.73.169:10000/.
To use several cameras, you need to specify a unique port number for each one and
configure the port forwarding.
6.3.2. Manual Port Forwarding
If your router does not support UPnP, you must configure your router manually to forward
the ports. To describe this way of connecting the IP camera, use the Planet XRT-412 router
(almost identical to D-Link DI-604).
For example, we need to set one camera for viewing video over the Internet. You need to
configure your router and your IP camera so that it can be accessed over the Internet as well as
over your LAN.
IMPORTANT!
This type of connection requires a static public IP address. Usually ISP’s provide a dynamic internal IP
address, which can be used only inside the LAN. Contact your ISP to determine your IP address type.
Let us suppose that Internet and LAN connections are configured on your router. The
router’s static public IP address provided by the ISP is 77.108.73.169.
The IP address range used on the local network is 192.168.0.1 – 192.168.0.255 and the
router’s IP address is 192.168.0.1. For setting, we use a computer connected to this local network.
It is necessary to configure the network settings of the camera (the camera’s IP address is
192.168.0.99). To access the camera over the Internet, you need to configure its ports. To access
the IP camera on the local network, we use its IP address. And the port numbers used for
