26D-Link DCS-5300 User Manual
Important: Some ISPs block access to port 80. Be sure to check with your ISP so that you can open the appropriate
ports accordingly. Some ISPs block trafc on commonly used ports to conserve bandwidth. If your ISP does not pass
trafc on port 80, you will need to change the port the camera uses from 80 to something else, such as 800. Not all
routers are the same, so refer to your user manual for specic instructions on how to open ports.
Follow these steps to congure your router’s Virtual Server settings:
Repeat the above steps adding ports 5001, 5002 and 5003 to both the Public and Private Port sections. A check
mark appearing before the entry name will indicate that the ports are enabled.
• Click Enabled.
• Enter a unique name for each entry.
• Select Both under Protocol Type (TCP and UDP)
• Enter your camera’s local IP Address (e.g., 192.168.0.146 in the example on page 28) in the Private IP eld.
• If you are using the default camera port settings, enter 80 in to the Public and Private Port section, click
Apply.
• Scheduling should be set to Always so that the camera images can be accessed at any time.
