1. Assign a local IP address to your network camera.

2. View the network camera using your Internet Explorer web browser.

3. Access the router with your web browser.

4. Open virtual server ports to enable remote image viewing.

Note: These are manual steps; however, if you decide to use the wizard, it will perform every step automatically.

This section is designed to walk you through the setup process for installing your camera behind a router and enable remote video viewing. For

the basic setup of the DCS-935L, follow the steps outlined in the Quick Installation Guide.

After you have completed the setup of the DCS-935L outlined in the Quick Installation Guide you will have an operating camera that has an assigned

IP Address. Because you are using a router to share the Internet with one or more PCs, the IP Address assigned to the Network Camera will be a

local IP Address. This allows viewing within your Local Area Network (LAN) until the router is congured to allow remote viewing of the camera

over the Internet.
