Netgear routers have different interfaces. Here we present two interfaces, just follow the guide to the interface that corresponds to your model.

New Interface (e.g. WNR 2000v5)

Step 1

To access the user interface of your router, open the following address with your internet browser 192.168.1.1. The default login is username = admin and password = password. Navigate to the Port Forwarding/Port Triggering in the Advanced menu. Type your camera´s IP-address into the field Server IP Address. Click on Add to save the service.

Then enter the following data in the new window:

DienstnameChoose a name for your camera, for example Camera Input.
ProtokollChoose TCP
Externer PortbereichEnter the port of your camera here, i.e. 8081 for camera 1 as in step 1. If you add further cameras, then change the corresponding port for each of them (8082 for camera 2 etc.).
Interner PortbereichEnter the same port here as in the previous field
Interne IP-AdresseEnter the IP address of your camera here or select your camera from the list.

Click on Apply above to activate port forwarding.
