Port Forwarding

At this moment, you can only access the camera when connected to your own wireless network, not
through the internet. This is because a home network is usually connected to the internet through a
router. Only the router's external IP address (assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider) can be
seen on the internet. Moreover, the router will also block access to any device in your home network,
including your camera. To bypass this, most routers support a mechanism called port forwarding that
allows access from the internet to a device in the home network.
You can set up port forwarding as follows:
1. Open your web browser on your mobile device, and enter the IP address of your router you
wrote down in the address bar, or go to your internet provider's web page.
Your router configuration page appears.
2. Go to the port forwarding (or virtual server) rule configuration page.
Note: The naming of port forwarding or virtual server may vary based on the brand of your
router. Refer to the user manual of your specific router for more information.
The example below shows the screen for a D-Link router: select the "Advanced" tab and
