IP camera forwarding - Three simple steps
Step 1: Setting up the correct port
Make sure the camera or recorder is connected to the router, you can then enter the IP address in your internet browser. Log in with your username and password.
Once logged in, go to "Network Settings," then port. There you will see 3 port numbers listed. If you do not change them, open port 80, 8000, and port 554 in the router. See the image below:
Step 2: Setting up the router
Note the series of numbers listed to the right of 'Default Gateway', you will need these later.
Note: Your Default Gateway may be different from the one in the picture, this is normal.
Log in to your router. This is done by entering the router's IP address into your internet browser, in this case it is 192.168.1.1
Go to the router's settings and to the 'Forwarden' or 'Port Forwarding' page.
For both 'Internal Port' and 'External Port', enter the selected port number of the camera or recorder. Under 'IP address', enter the IP address of the camera or recorder. Under 'Protocol' select 'TCP'. Check the 'Enable' box to apply the settings. Click 'Apply' to complete the action.
