Your WAN IP Address will be listed here.
Note: Because a dynamic WAN IP can change from time to time depending on your
ISP, you may want to obtain a Static IP address from your ISP. A Static IP address is a
fixed IP address that will not change over time and will be more convenient for you to
use to access your camera from a remote location. If you could not get a Static IP
address from your ISP, the DDNS is a solution alternatively. Please refer to Appendix G
for more information.
(3) Open Virtual Server Ports to enable remote image viewing
The firewall security features built into the DI-624 and most routers prevent users from
accessing the video from the Network Camera over the Internet. The router connects to
the Internet over a series of numbered ports. The ports normally used by the Network
Camera are blocked from access over the Internet. Therefore, these ports need to be
made accessible over the Internet. This is accomplished using the Virtual Server
function on the router. The Virtual Server ports used by the camera must be opened
through the router for remote access to your camera. Virtual Server is accessed by
clicking on the Advanced tab of the router screen.
