6. Others

6.1. Port forwarding settings in router

When a IP camera accesses to outer net remotely via internet which is connected to router, port

forwarding in router is a must, port forwarding is also called port mapping，or virtual server.

Different brands' routes have different names, but the operation is much the same.

Take the TP-LINK TL-R410 router port mapping setting as an example to illustrate. To set up IP

Camera as an example: router inner web IP is 192.168.1.1, IP camera inner web address is

192.168.1.50, and port is 85.

1.First log in router web administration interface.

2.Click Advanced Setup in the left side and + in front.

3.Click virtual server in the unfolded menu.

4.Fill 85 under the right port start, fill 50 in Server IP address, protocol select TCP, finally

don’t forget to tick under apply and click save.

Please refer to the following picture. When completing port forwarding, you can visit camera

- 25 -

through device code in outer net remotely.

Common router default visit address 1. DLINK ex-factory definition router address is 192.168.0.1

2. Linksys ex-factory definition router address is 192.168.1.1

3. 3com ex-factory definition router address is 192.168.2.1

4. Microsoft ex-factory definition router address is 192.168.2.1

5. Net gear ex-factory definition router address is 192.168.1.1

6. Asus ex-factory definition router address is 192.168.1.1
