Determine Your Router’s IP Address (WAN)
Note: Because a dynamic WAN IP can change from time to time depending on your ISP, you may want to obtain a
Static IP address from your ISP. A Static IP address is a fixed IP address that will not change over time and will be
more convenient for you to use to access your camera from a remote location.
• Open Virtual Server Ports to Enable Remote Image Viewing
The rewall security features built into the DI-614+ router prevent users from accessing the video from the DCS-5300
over the Internet. The router connects to the Internet over a series of numbered ports. The ports normally used by the
DCS-5300 are blocked from access over the Internet. Therefore, these ports need to be made accessible over the
Internet. This is accomplished using the Virtual Server function on the DI-614+ router. The Virtual Server ports used
by the camera must be opened through the router for remote access to your camera. Virtual Server is accessed by
clicking on the Advanced tab of the router screen.
Your WAN IP Address will be listed here.
