7 – CONFIGURING THE REMOTE ACCESS
Each manufacturer of routers handles Port Forwarding in a different way. For detailed, router specific instructions,
please visit www.portforward.com
and find the model of your router. Then select ‘Default Guide’ for detailed
screenshots and use them to help you through the rest of these instructions.
1. Open Internet Explorer and type in the IP address of your Default Gateway, this opens the configuration page of
your router.
2. Next, create a Port Forwarding rule for the IP camera.
a. The port number to forward will be 80 if you have followed the manual thus far.
b. Your Router will ask for an IP address as well. Input the IP address of your IP camera.
3. After creating the Port Forwarding rule, visit http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/
a. Write down your external address, it will be used later.
b. In the box that says ‘Port Number’, type in the port number that you have created a Port Forwarding rule
for and click ‘Check’
c. If it says ‘port is open’ then you have set up Port Forwarding properly and you can now access your IP
camera from another location.
