Hikvision DS-2CD2332-I [17/95] Dynamic ip connection

User Manual of Network Camera

2.2.2 Dynamic IP Connection

Before you start:

Please apply a dynamic IP from an ISP. With the dynamic IP address, you can connect

the network camera to a modem or a router.

 Connecting the network camera via a router

Steps:

1. Connect the network camera to the router.

2. In the camera, assign a LAN IP address, the subnet mask and the gateway. Refer

to Section 2.1.2 Detecting and Changing the IP Address for detailed LAN

configuration.

3. In the router, set the PPPoE user name, password and confirm the password.

4. Set port mapping. E.g. 80, 8000, 8200 and 554 ports. The steps for port mapping

vary depending on different routers. Please call the router manufacturer for

assistance with port mapping.

Note: Refer to Appendix 2 for detailed information about port mapping.

5. Apply a domain name from a domain name provider.

6. Configure the DDNS settings in the setting interface of the router.

7. Visit the camera via the applied domain name.

 Connecting the network camera via a modem

Purpose:

This camera supports the PPPoE auto dial-up function. The camera gets a public IP

address by ADSL dial-up after the camera is connected to a modem. You need to

configure the PPPoE parameters of the network camera. Refer to Section 5.3.3

Configuring PPPoE Settings for detailed configuration.

Figure 2-6 Accessing the Camera with Dynamic IP

Note: The obtained IP address is dynamically assigned via PPPoE, so the IP address

always changes after rebooting the camera. To solve the inconvenience of the

dynamic IP, you need to get a domain name from the DDNS provider (E.g.

DynDns.com). Please follow below steps for normal domain name resolution and

private domain name resolution to solve the problem.
