The router is central to this operation. The router is the
connection between your home network and the Internet.
The router is thus connected to two networks at the same
time, the Internet and your home network. The router is ac-
cessed via a different address(IP address ) from each of the
networks.
The IP security camera is directly connected to the router,
either via a network cable or wireless via WLAN. This allows
access to the IP security camera from the home network and
the Internet.
As the router is, however, protected from Internet access via
Firewall a separate access must be set up for the IP security
camera. This is referred to as Port forwarding. The following
installation steps are required to set up the IP security camera
in the home network and via the Internet:
1. The IP security camera must be connected to the router
using the supplied network cable (see section Hardware
Installation).
2. Install the supplied software (see section Software
installation).
3. Set up IP security camera automatically or manually in
home network:
• For Windows systems: (see section Setting up the IP
security camera).
• For Mac systems (See section Installation on Mac OS X).
4. Where desired, a wireless connection can be set up bet-
ween the IP security camera and the router using WLAN
(see section Manual set up of IP security camera).
5. Set up a Port forwarding in the router to allow access to
the IP security camera via the Internet (see section Router
set-up).
6. Set up a fixed Internet address (see section Setting up the
domain name).
7. Installation of Apps for Smartphones and TabletPCs (see
section Set up App).
8. The standard set-up of the IP security camera is described
from section Hardware Installation onwards. Further infor-
mation relating to the use and settings are provided from
chapter Fixing the IP security camera onwards.
