Setting Access Rights And Passwords
• 1: The router updates its external IP addresses at the DynDNS server.
• 2: The computer requests the IP address for my-camera.dyndns.org.
• 3: The DNS service sends back the IP address 213.63.87.154 to the computer.
• 4: The computer uses dierent ports (19801 and 19802) to access the external IP
address 213.63.87.154 on the router.
• 5: The router forwards the query to ports 19801 and 19802 at its external IP address
213.63.87.154 to the internal IP addresses (192.168.178.201 and/or 192.168.178.202).
Registering A DynDNS Name
First register with a suitable DynDNS service (e.g., www.dyndns.org). Keep the user name
and password in a safe place because the router will need them to update IP addresses.
Also set up a DynDNS name for the router under which you would like to access the desired
cameras (e.g., “Fritz-Mueller“). DynDNS providers typically provide several domains that
come after the period after the DynDNS name. In our example, we chose “dyndns.org.“ The
name used to access the cameras therefore always begins with “Fritz-Mueller.dyndns.org.“
Configuring The Router
• Setting up a DynDNS client on a router: Open your router’s user interface in a web
browser by entering the IP address or its DNS name (e.g., “http://192.168.178.1“ or “http://
fritz.box“). In your router’s user interface, open the configuration page for setting up a
DynDNS client. Set up the DynDNS name that you registered with the DynDNS provider.
• Setting up port forwarding: In your router’s user interface, open the configuration
page for port forwarding. Now link a port to each local IP address for those cameras
that should be externally accessible:
•
19801  192.168.178.201
• 19802  192.168.178.202
Testing The DynDNS Configuration
• Testing DynDNS: Open your web browser and enter the registered DynDNS name
(example: http://Fritz-Mueller.dyndns.org). You should now see your router’s user
interface.
• Testing cameras: Enter the DynDNS name and port of the first camera in your web
browser (example: http://Fritz-Mueller.dyndns.org:19801). You should now see the
user interface of the camera and receive a prompt to enter login data (user name and
password). Use the same procedure to test all of the other cameras that you have set
up for port forwarding (see above).
Caution
If necessary, deactivate remote configuration for your router if you activated in Section
“Configuring The Router.“
