www.foscam.com 2.2 Access the Camera in WAN 2.2.1 Static IP Addresses Users who have static IP addresses do not need to set DDNS service settings for remote access. When you have finished connecting the camera using the LAN IP address and port forwarding, you can access the camera directly from the Internet using the WAN IP address and port number. How to Obtain the WAN IP address from a public website To obtain your WAN IP address, enter the following URL in your browser: http://www.whatismyip.com.
www.foscam.com which you had set earlier to your router’s port forwarding settings. Note: If you plug the camera into a router, it will have a dynamic IP address and you need to set DDNS service settings to view it remotely. 2.2.2 Dynamic IP Addresses DDNS is a service that allows your IP Camera, especially when assigned with a dynamic IP address, to have a fixed host and domain name.
www.foscam.com Figure 2.8 Modify the Http Port. Enter the Username and password, click OK. Figure 2.9 Step 2: Enter the username and password of the Administrator (default username is admin with a blank password), and click “OK” to apply changes.
