1. How can I setup my PiXORD Network Camera with my ADSL connection?
When using an ADSL connection you have to know if your ISP assigned you a Static Public IP or Dynamic Public IP. Consult with your ISP for more information.
Question: What is the difference between Static Public IP and Dynamic Public IP?
Answer: When using a Static Public IP, every time you get connected to the ISP, you will be using the same IP; when using a Dynamic Public IP, every time you get connected to your ISP, you will be using a different IP.
Question: What difference does it make when using Static Public IP or Dynamic Public IP?
Answer: It actually depends on what is purpose of using the Internet connection and what kind of applications are you going to run.
CASE: ADSL through PPPoE
My ADSL connection uses PPPoE to get connected to the ISP, plus the fact that my ISP assigns me a different IP every time when I get connected (Dynamic Public IP).
Question: Can I plug directly my PIXORD Camera to the ADSL Modem in one of the LAN ports?
Answer: No, the main reason is that presently, the PIXORD Camera doesn't have the PPPoE feature, even if you plugged it in, there must be a feature present that dials to the ISP.

Question: I only have an ADSL connection and don't plan on getting a static Public IP. What can I do in order to make this work?
Answer: You can buy a Router which needs to have PPPoE and port forwarding capabilities. In the market, mostly all routers come with these features and they aren't expensive. Please consult with your provider regarding this matter. Refer to the next section for Port Forwarding settings.

Question: Once I set this up, how can I view my camera through a remote location?
Answer: You can register your camera at our Pixord DDNS Service, and even if your Public IP changes, you can access it from a remote location. Refer to Network Configurations, DDNS settings in order to set it up.
