CASE 1: Using default settings

In this case what we have here is:
1 Public IP Address 210.20.35.163, assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP)
1 PiXORD Camera, with a local IP of 192.168.1.21
1 Broadband router
Since we are sharing only one single Internet connection through our Local Network, the Port Forwarding configuration in our Broadband Router for the camera will be as follows:
Private IP |
Private Port |
Type |
Public Port |
192.168.1.21 |
80 |
|
80 |
Notice that the Port 80 is the default port for any Web-Server, but this also can be changed. Since Port 80 is the default, when we type our IP address at the Address bar, there won't be any need to type the port number.
Once the broadband router's configurations are set, we can open the Internet Explorer and type in the Address bar the Public IP address.
Question: Can I use DHCP from my router to assign an IP to my camera?
Answer: We don't suggest it, if you do this, every time you reboot your camera, a new IP will be assigned and you will have to configure again your router in your Port Forwarding configuration.
