IP Camera Network Camera how to set up

　　IP Camera Network Camera How to set IP Camera connection tutorial

Configuration-Local access

Before the camera is connected to the Internet, the camera is set to local access, and the initial state settings can be configured by referring to a random technical document. When the camera is set to local access, the Network camera's network remote access is ready to start.

Configuration-Remote Access

Before configuring remote access, the Nineth part recommends that you first contact your network administrator to ensure that you have the appropriate permissions to configure the remote access to the camera, and then start the operation after confirming that it is correct.

In order for the network camera to access the Internet, we need to configure Port forwarding. Port forwarding allows you to access the network camera remotely by forwarding the network port to which the network camera is connected. In the process of forwarding, you first need to access the router in your network, and then configure the router to enable it to forward the port used by the network camera. For network cameras, which ports need to be forwarded, refer to the accompanying instructions.

Step 1th-Get IP address information

To access routers in the network to configure port forwarding, we need to know the IP address of the router to which the IP network camera is connected. You can obtain this IP address information by consulting the relevant network administrator, or enter the "Ipconfig/all" command at the Windows command prompt. To open a command prompt window, you need to click the Start button on the window and then click Run. Now you're going to go to "command" and click "OK" to continue.

This shows the IP configuration of your computer, using the "Ipconfig/all" command to record the IP address of the router. You will need this IP address to access the router and port forwarding configuration. The IP address of the network router appears as the default gateway. For example, the IP address of a router is 192.168.0.1.

Step 2nd-Access the network router

Now that you have the IP address of the router, enter the address in the Web browser. In this example, the router can be accessed by entering an IP address 192.168.0.1 in the Internet Explorer address bar.

Step 3rd-Configure forwarding ports for routers

Now that you have entered the network router, below, we go into the router for port forwarding configuration part. The location of this section, please consult the router manufacturer for more detailed information.

In Figure 4 we can see how the port delivery is done. Enter the local address of the network camera, which will be forwarded as a unique address to the port connection. In the example of this article, the camera's port 80 will be forwarded. Some IP network cameras require more than one port address to be forwarded to ensure that the user uses all the functionality provided by the camera. In addition you will need to choose the protocol you are using, usually udp,tcp, or both, and your router may have additional options. In most cases, both of them are selected. These standards will be used in port forwarding. Click "Apply" and all the required information is set up.

After you set up and save your router configuration, you will be able to see an informational prompt that includes some of the default items. At the bottom, there is an IP network camera, the "IP network Camera" entry.

Step 4th-Access your IP webcam in the Internet

After the router's port forwarding is configured, we can access the network camera over the network. It is recommended that you try to access your webcam at a remote location, not just to verify that the port is forwarding correctly on your local area network. In a remote location, you need to enter a public IP address for your webcam, please contact your ISP (Internet service provider) to provide it. If you do not know the public network IP address, you will not be able to access the network camera subnet. Because the camera's dedicated IP address can not be seen on the internet, but only in the network camera connected to the LAN to see.

In Figure VI below, we can see, enter a public address: 69.159.228.4, while in the Address bar, enter the port number 800, according to the guide, this camera does not use port 80. The port 80 in most applications will be forwarded because of the need to enter the address bar while accessing the webcam. However, there are still some IP network cameras for security reasons instead of using port 80, it is recommended to consult the relevant network administrator or router manufacturer on port 80 security-related issues. If the 80 port is not in use, you need to enter the full IP address with a colon and the port number you are using. In this example, the full network address to the network camera is http://69.159.228.4:800.

Now, you should be able to access your webcam from a remote location over the Internet without any problems.
