To do this you need to:1.Know your WAN (Internet) IP address. This is the IP address that yourInternet 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 router or gateway can visit the VS-IPC1002 through theport 80.3.Make sure your camera’s default gateway is set as your LAN (local) IPaddress of your router/gateway.6.1WAN IP AddressThe WAN IP address is necessary when you want connect your home or business network to the internet. The WAN IP address is different from the LANIP address. It can be seeing by outside network, and it is supplied by Internet Service Provider to grant you access the internet.Your WAN IP address is stored by your gateway router which uses it to connect 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 router’s status page. Also there are various websites such as will help you find your current IP address.The term gateway is used generically to mean the device that connects a localMost a.6.2have6.3All the TCP/IP (internet) networks are using software port to connect with each other. The port can be considered as channels of television. Default all the websites are through the channel 80 (port), the websites and the images can be sent via the port 80 to your browser by VS-IPC1002. Therefore this channel (port) can received the visiting application without the encumbrance from your router/firewall. You can visit VS-IPC1002 from the external network and those two ports have to transmitting or redirecting on the LAN IP address port by your gateway router. Thus the setting software of your router has to possessing transmission or redirecting function.Before setting up port forwarding, it’s best to configure your VS-IPC1002 to use a static LAN IP since your port forwarding setup will need to be updated if the camera’s LAN IP addresses changes.Note: Forwarding ports to your camera does not pose any additionalsecurity risk to your LAN.6.4Default Gatewaycorrect request to correspond camera. All the websites requests will be sent to port 80 by browser if the default setting does not change. However the port 80 transmit the request to one LAN IP address only, therefore all the websites requests on the port 80 will send to that address.The solution of 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 router’s port forwarding setup, you would need toforward 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 camera’s 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 http:// 210.82.13.21:81 into your browser’s address bar. You can do the same thing with a URL such as :81.The steps to set up remote access are as follows: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 , are easy to remember as aliases of 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 and . You’llneed 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.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 router’s documentation for more information. If your router does not support DDNS, you can setup the Vilar IP camera’s DDNS client.Figure 43 Typical Network EnvironmentsNow, every LAN devices connect to INTERNET via NAT function provided by IP Sharing Device. However, from the point of remote PC’s view, remote PC see only an IP Sharing Device, it doesn’t 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 theopportunity to access LAN devices, e.g. VS-IPC1002.We can achieve this goal by enable Reversal NAT (RNAT) function of IP Sharing Device.1.“Virtual Server”: Many routers have “Virtual Server” support. You mustforward the WAN 80 TCP port to LAN Vilar IP camera’s IP and Port. (If you visit 210.82.13.21’s 80 port outside, you will be forward to LAN192.168.0.2’s 80 port).2.Another method is the “DMZ Host”. If enabled to use a LAN device as theDMZ host, the outside PC will be able visit this LAN device directly, as ifanin7 Technical ParametersOtherCPU 32bit ARM@66MHz frequency. SDRAM 16MByteFLASH 4MByte。
