Viewing your Foscam IP network camera from within your network is great for day-to-day monitoring, but what about when you are at the office and want to see what your puppy is up to? Or what about if you across the country and suddenly can't remember if you closed your garage door or not? You don't need to call a neighbor; you can just log onto any web browser and check your IP camera - If you've set up port forwarding, that is.
Before you start, it will be helpful to have your router manual handy in case you dont understand any of the terms. If you don't have the manual, you can most likely find an online manual for your router using a Google search. Portforward.com also has excellent overviews of almost every router!
Step 1Write down the local IP address of your IP network camera. To find this address open IP network camera Tools, and it will display the IP address of the IP network camera.
Step 2Write down your router's external IP address. An easy way to find this is to Google 'What is my IP address' and follow one of the links

Step 3Log in to your wireless router. To do this you must enter the internal IP address of your router into your browser's address bar and then enter the username and password when prompted. If you don't have the password, maybe its blank or 123456.
You can also Google the common default router username and passwords for your router.
Step 4Look for an option on your router that says Port Forwarding or Virtual Server. If you server has both, it is generally easier to use Virtual Server.

Step 5To test your setup, open a browser and enter your external internet IP address into the address bar followed by a colon and the port number and press enter. You should arrive at your camera's login screen, and are ready to access your IP network camera remotely from any location, including smart phones.
