To access the camera from a local PC, simply use the local IP address of the camera.
To enable remote access, you must congure your router/rewall to forward an incoming request to
that xed local IP address of the camera. Therefore, when an external host sends a request to access
your camera, the request will rst reach the router’s external IP address and then be forwarded to
the local IP address of the camera.
