Clare Controls IP Network Camera User Guide 7
Setting the network camera over a WAN
This section explains how to connect the network camera to a WAN with a static IP or a
dynamic IP.
Static IP connection
Apply a static IP from an ISP (Internet Service Provider). With the static IP address, you
can connect the network camera via a router or connect it to a WAN directly.
To connect the network camera via a router:
1. Connect the network camera to the router.
2. Assign the LAN IP address, subnet mask, and gateway.
3. Save the static IP in the router.
4. Set port mapping – for example, 80, 8000, 8200, and the 554 ports. The steps for
port mapping vary based on router. Call the router manufacturer for assistance with
port mapping.
Note: Refer to Appendix 2 for detailed information about port mapping.
5. Visit the network camera through a web browser or the client software.

Connecting the network camera with static IP directly
You can save the static IP in the camera and connect it directly to the internet without
using a router.
