[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1005894, member: 52972"] pj is for the most part, correct. One of the keys to accessing and controlling your cameras over the internet when you are away from home and your home wireless network is to get a static remote IP address. There are several companies that will give you access so you can port forward your camera/s IP address to get online access. I have a D-Link wireless router, and doing some research discovered that D-Link offers a free IP address for port forwarding such things as security cameras. Some advertise that they will give you static IP to forward to, but have a lot of restrictions, or just don't offer them free anymore" D-Links static IP forwarding address it free and works great...they just don't mention it in any of their manuals. Perhaps other Router manufacturer's offer a similiar free service? The nice part of the free D-link static IP address is if your IP service uses DHCP (your IP address is subject to change) the D-Link free service tracks those changes and links to your new IP address so your D-Link static IP never changes and you don't have to reconfigure your software or mobile devices. Of course, if you are not interested in monitoring your security cameras remotely over the internet, than you don't need the Static IP port forwarding service. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
