Configuring your Camera to for remote Access via the Internet
The CAM77IP can be accessed easily from a remote location with an Internet
connection simply by configuring them to use an Internet Gateway (Router). Some
configuration of the router is required and is very easy to perform if you use router. The
most common way of achieving remote access is to use a Router that supports Network
Address/Port Translation (NAT/NAPT). This allows you to access multiple cameras via one
broadband Internet connection (ADSL, Cable etc). The following guide presumes that you
have your router correctly configured to connect to the Internet. Consult the router user
manual for more information on how to do this.
In this example we have 3 cameras and we are going to assign them each a different
internal LAN IP address. The Router has one Public (WAN) IP address which then has
thousands of 'Ports'. Each port can be manually routed to an internal (LAN) IP address, in
this example we will be keeping the internal port as 80 for each camera. Conventions IP
address and specific port on that IP address is represented as IPADDRESS:PORT e.g.
192.168.1.10:80 is IP address 192.168.1.10 using port 80. Port 80 is the common port for
HTTP or web page traffic.
Configuring your cameras
You should configure each camera individually before connecting it to the Router or
the internal network - do this by connecting it directly to a computer via a straight cable.
The computer should have its IP address set to 192.168.1.20 in order to be on the default

subnet of the camera. Then browse to the camera's IP address (default 192.168.1.100) to
bring up the home page of the camera.
1. Click on the Network button and then on the Network Assignment
2. Configure each the camera with a different LAN IP address as per the following table.
Camera

Subnet Mask
Gateway
HTTP port

3. Then click the Submit button to save your changes. Don't forget to set each camera
differently.
Note: Once you have changed the IP address of each camera it will no longer be accessible
to the computer until you have change the computers IP address.
4. Connect each camera to a different port on the Network
Configuring Port forwarding on the Router
1. Connect your computer to the Network switch on the LAN of the router.
2. Change the IP address of your Computer to be 192.168.1.150 (in the default subnet of
the router)
