Visit IP Camera over INTERNET
IP Camera is often used in
this environment:
1 In Local Area Network (LAN) only.
2 Direct connect to INTERNET via xDSL (PPPoE) Modem.
3 Share one INTERNET connection with other computer,
and connect to INTERNET via a gateway or router.
Figure 37 IP
Camerats Application Environment
If your LAN is connected to
the Internet through a high speed (broadband) Internet connection, you can
access your cameras by web browser from anywhere on the Internet. To do this
you need to:
1 Know your WAN (Internet)
IP address. This is the IP address
that your Internet Service Provider gives you to access the Internet. It may be
static (always the same) or dynamic (can change from time to time).
2 Make sure the port used by the camera (80) is
forwarded by your router or gateway to the camera.
3 Make sure your camerats default gateway is set to the
LAN (local) IP address of your router/gateway.
6.1
WAN IP Address
The WAN (Wide Area Network) IP
address that your Internet Service Provider grants you so that you can access
the Internet is very different from the LAN or local IP address that your PCs
and cameras are using to connect to your local network. Your WAN or Internet IP
address is visible to the outside world (Internet) whereas your local addresses
are not. To find your home or business network from the Internet you must know
your WAN IP address.
Your WAN IP address is
stored by your gateway router which uses it to connect to the Internet. All the
devices on your network connect to the Internet via your gateway router. You
can find your current WAN IP address by checking your routerts status page.
There are also various websites such as www.whatismyip.com which will tell you
the IP address that you are currently using to access the Internet.
The term gateway is used generically to mean the
device that connects a local network to the Internet. A gateway may be a
router, a PC running software which allows it to act as a gateway such as a proxy
server, or some other device. Most home networks use a NAT (Network Address
Translation) router as a gateway. The term gateway router refers to such a
device.
Static versus Dynamic IP address
The IP address (or
addresses) your ISP has provided you will either be static, which means it
never changes, or dynamic, meaning it can change periodically. Dynamic
addresses present an additional challenge when trying to locate your network
from the Internet since your address may have changed since the last time you
checked it. How often your dynamic
address changes vary from one service provider to another. Also, any time you
reboot your cable or DSL modem, your are likely to get a new address when
reconnecting. The solution to the ever changing IP address is known as DDNS or
dynamic domain name service. A DDNS will allow you to find your network by a
domain name, such as https://tom.vipcam.cn, rather than needing to know the IP
address.
6.2
Network Address Translation (NAT)
Most home routers and
business firewalls today perform something called NAT or Network Address
Translation. NAT translates your
external or WAN IP address into an internal address inside your gateway router.
What this means is, you can think of your router as being divided into two
halves, the LAN side (inside) and the WAN side (outside or Internet side). When
a connection request arrives at your router from the Internet, it will not get
any farther than the WAN side unless you have specifically instructed your
router to pass this type of request to a specific device on your LAN. This
process is known as port forwarding or port redirecting.
6.3
Port Forwarding
All TCP/IP (Internet) networking uses software ports.
Ports can be thought of as channels on your television. By default, all web
page traffic is on channel (port) 80. By default, the IP Camera uses port 80 to
deliver its web page to your browser. Therefore, both of these channels (ports) must be open (not
blocked by your router/firewall) to incoming traffic in order for you to
connect to the camera from the Internet.
Also, these two ports must be forwarded or redirected to the camerats
LAN IP address by your gateway router.
Your routerts setup software should provide a utility for port
forwarding or redirecting.
Before setting up port forwarding,
itts best to configure your IP Camera to use a static LAN IP since your port forwarding setup will need to be
updated if the camerats LAN IP address changes.
|
Note: Forwarding ports to your camera does not pose any
additional security risk to your LAN.
|
6.4
Default Gateway
Devices (PCs, cameras, etc.)
on your network connect to the Internet via a gateway. For most home networks, a NAT type
router serves as the gateway. For business LANs, the gateway may be a PC
running gateway software. In order for any device on your network to get
connected to the Internet, it must know the LAN IP address of your gateway. If
your camera is set up to use DHCP, then it will retrieve this information
automatically from your router.
However, if you have configured your camera to use a
static IP address, you must also be sure that you have set the correct gateway
IP address in order to connect your camera to the Internet.
|
Note: It
may not be possible to test WAN (Internet) access to your cameras from a PC
connected to the LAN. To be sure that your cameras are accessible by the
Internet, you should contact someone you know with Internet access
(preferable broadband) and have them enter your WAN IP address into their
browser.
|
You camera is now live on
the Internet. Browsing your camera from the Internet is the same as browsing on
your LAN except that you must enter your WAN IP address (or camera domain name
if youtve set up a DDNS service) instead of the LAN IP address.
6.5
Accessing Multiple Cameras over the Internet
When accessing multiple
cameras over the Internet, you must assign separate port numbers for each
camera. The reason for this is
simple. Your gateway router needs some way of knowing which camera to direct an
incoming request to. Unless directed otherwise, your browser will always send
web page requests to port 80. Since
port 80 can only be forwarded to one LAN IP address, all incoming web page
requests on port 80 will go to this address.
The solution to this problem is to set up the router, assign a different port number to each camera. For example, you may set up your
second camera to use port 81.
When you want to access this camera, you would tell your browser to use port
81, instead of port 80. In your routerts port forwarding setup, you would need
to forward port 81 to the LAN IP address of the second camera. Web page
requests arriving at port 81 will automatically be directed to the second
camerats address.
To instruct your browser to
use a different port, other than 80, to access a web page, you would add the
port number at the end of the IP address or URL, separated by a colon. For
example, to access a camera on port 81 if your WAN IP address is 210.82.13.21,
you would enter https:// 210.82.13.21:81 into your browserts address bar. You
can do the same thing with a URL such as https://tom.vipcam.cn:81.
The steps to set up remote
access are as follows:
1 Go to your gateway router setup page and configure
port forwarding to port 81 to LAN IP address of Camera_1(e.g. 192.168.0.151)
and port 82 to the LAN IP address of Camera_2(e.g. 192.168.0.152).
2 From somewhere on the Internet, bring up Internet
Explorer and enter your WAN IP address followed by a colon and the port number
such as: https://210.82.13.21:81 to
access Camera_1.
|
Note: Some routers use port 80 for remote
configuration and itts possible to experience a conflict when using port 80
for camera access. Therefore, you should use port 81 for your first camera,
port 82 for the second, etc This setup also makes it easier to remember
which camera is using a particular port number.
|
6.6
Dynamic
Domain Name Service (DDNS)
Your Internet Service
Provider (ISP) provides you at least one IP address which you use to connect to
the Internet. The address you get may be static, meaning it never changes, or
dynamic, meaning itts likely to change periodically. Just how often it changes,
depends on your ISP. A dynamic IP address complicates remote access since you
may not know what your current WAN IP address is when you want to access your
network over the Internet. The solution to the dynamic IP address problem comes
in the form of a dynamic DNS service.
The Internet uses DNS
servers to lookup domain names and translates them into IP addresses. Domain names, such as www.vipcam.cn, are
just easy to remember aliases for IP addresses. A dynamic DNS service is unique because
it provides a means of updating your IP address so that your listing will
remain current when your IP address changes. There are several excellent DDNS
services available on the Internet and best of all most are free to use. Two
such services you can use are www.3322.org and www.vipcam.cn . Youtll need to
register with the service and set up the domain name of your choice to begin
using it. Please refer to the home page of the service for detailed
instructions.

Note: The writing of the base decals have
already applied for the DDNS and passwords from https://www.vipcam.cn.
|
A DDNS service works by
uploading your WAN IP address to its servers periodically. Your gateway-router
may support DDNS directly, in which case you can enter your DDNS account
information into your router and it will update the DDNS servers automatically
when your IP address changes. Please consult your routerts documentation for
more information. If your router does not support DDNS, you can setup the IP
Camerats DDNS client.

Configuration Example
At home or business LAN, one or more computers and IP Cameras are
connected to the same IP Sharing Device(Gateway/Router), IP Sharing Device was
assigned a public IP Address by ISP(e.g. 210.82.13.21), while each devices in
LAN has assigned a different LAN IP(e.g. 192.168.0.151/192.168.0.10/192.168.0.11).
Figure 38 Typical
Network Environment
Now, every LAN devices connect to INTERNET via NAT function provided by
IP Sharing Device. However, from the point of remote PCts view, remote PC see
only an IP Sharing Device, it doesntt know how many PCs existed inside privacy
LAN. This IP Sharing Device is also acted as a firewall.
Thus, we have changed the setting of IP Sharing Device; let public PC
has the opportunity to access LAN devices, e.g. IP Camera.
We can achieve this goal by enable Reversal NAT (RNAT) function of IP
Sharing Device.
1 tVirtual Servert: Many routers have tVirtual Servert
support. You must forward the WAN 80 TCP port to LAN IP Camerats IP and Port.
(If you visit 210.82.13.21ts
80 port outside, you will be forward to LAN 192.168.0.2ts 80 port).
2 Another method is the tDMZ Hostt. If enabled to use a
LAN device as the DMZ host, the outside PC will be able visit this LAN device
directly, as if there is no IP Sharing Device exists. This method support only
one LAN device exposed to the WAN. Thus, if you have more IP Cameras, you have
to use the above method.
Configuration
Example:
Take D-Link (https://www.dlink.com) DI-604/DI-614+/DI-624 as an example.
1 Login to your router;
2 In WAN configuration, input the PPPoE
username and password provided by your ISP;
3 Click Advanced on Top of homepage;
4 Click Virtual Server (Note: If you use Virtual Server mode, you must turn
DMZ host function off first. DMZ Host function will disable all Virtual Server
function)
5 Input the following information on page:
