Viewing camera from outside your local network (i.e via Internet)

To make use of this feature the router that your camera is connected to will need to support UPnP. Most

modern routers do support this. If you are unsure, check your routers documentaon.

Log into your camera’s Homepage and then click “Sengs”. On the right-hand side menu, click on “Network”,

then click “UPNP Setup”. Conrm UPNP is enabled and the port range is set to 8150 to 8350. Click “Apply”.

You have now opened an external port on your cameras network, so you can access your camera from any

internet connecon.

You now need to nd your external IP address so you can nd your network from the Internet.

To nd out your external sengs, enter the “Sengs” menu of your camera. In the top right-hand menu, click

on “System”. Scroll down the page, unl you see the “UPNP Port Forwarding” secon – this should list your

External IP Address. This will be your external IP address and the port you opened via UPnP. This is the address

you should use to view your camera from the Internet.

Example External IP address : hp://80.56.168.2:8150 (noce the : “colon” between the IP address and port).

Remember which port is displayed as you will need it for DDNS setup.

When you access your camera from the Internet, you will sll have to login as if you accessed your camera on

the local network. For this reason, we recommend you change the default username and password for your

camera.

If you have a dynamic IP address (an external IP address that changes every few days), you will have to re-check

your external IP address every me you connect to the internet. This is not ideal for long term use. You may be

able to ask your ISP (broadband service provider) if they can provide you with a stac IP address. Alternavely,

you can eliminate the need to enter your new IP address at all by seng up a Dynamics DNS (DDNS). This is

free, simple and easy to do, so is highly recommended.

Seng up DDNS

Open your cameras Homepage, and enter the “Sengs” menu. Click on “Network” and then “DDNS Setup”.

Enable DDNS, and some drop down menus will appear. Select a DDNS service provider (they all oer free

services) and then click “Register”. This will take you to the service provider’s website where you can register

your own personal host name. Please follow the instrucons on the provider’s site, and then return to the

DDNS setup page.

Enter the Host name you have just registered, and then enter the username and password for the account you

set up.

Note: If you have only just registered your DDNS account and/or Host Name, it may take a while (up to a few

hours) unl your account is acvated and registered on the internet.

Your new external address for your camera will then be hp://examplehostname.dtdns.net:8150 – where

“examplehostname” is the Host name you entered on the DDNS setup page.

You can double check your cameras new DDNS address in the “System” menu (via “Sengs”). This should now

be listed in the DDNS secon of the page.

Note: Some ISPs disable the ability to view your camera via an external address from the same network as your

camera. If this is the case, try to connect to your camera via your DDNS address from a mobile phone, or from

another internet connecon.

CONGRATULATIONS

You are now able to view your world from anywhere... anyme
