EZN268 5.3 Connecting the Camera to the Network There are three methods to connect the IP camera to the network: Router or LAN Connection, Direct High‐Speed Connection and One‐to‐One Connection. Router or LAN connection This is the most common connection in which the IP camera is connected to a router and allows multiple users on and off site to see the IP camera on a LAN/WAN (Internet). The camera must be assigned an IP address that is compatible with its LAN.
EZN268 Direct High‐Speed Connection In a Direct High‐Speed Connection, the camera connects directly to a modem without the need for a router. You need to set the static or dynamic WAN IP address assigned by your ISP (Internet Service Provider) in the camera’s configuration web pages. To access the camera, just type “http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx”, where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address given by your ISP. If you have a dynamic IP address, this connection may require that you use DDNS for a reliable connection.
