Access your IP Camera from the Internet
You can access the IP Camera from the Internet (remote access). Enter the WAN IP
address and port number in your standard browser. For example, you would enter http://
183.37.28.254:85
NOTES: Make sure port forwarding is successful. You can do port forwarding two ways.
1) Login to your router to enable the “UPNP” function. You can then login to the camera
as administrator, choose Network, and then choose UPnP to enable UPnP. Make sure that
the status of UPnP reads “UPnP Successful” on the Device Status page.
2) Do port (HTTP port and Media port) forwarding manually. If your router has a Virtual
Server, it can do port forwarding. Add the camera’s LAN IP and port which you had set
earlier to your router’s port forwarding settings.
If you plug the camera into a router, it will have a dynamic IP address and you need to
set DDNS service settings to view it remotely.
4.2.2 Dynamic IP Addresses
DDNS is a service that allows your IP Camera, especially when assigned with a dynamic
IP address, to have a fixed host and domain name. This means that even though your
WAN IP address is constantly changing, you will have a fixed hostname you can use to
access your cameras at all times. You can access the camera directly from the Internet
using the hostname and port number.
What is the HTTP Port no.?
Default HTTP Port is 88
All cameras have the default HTTP port of 88. For example, if the LAN IP link of the
camera is http://192.168.1.110:88, this means that the camera’s HTTP port is 88. You
can change port 88 to another port if you’d like such as 2000 or 8090, which will not be
