After you have completed the setup of the DCS-2100+ 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

Address. This allows viewing within your Local Area Network (LAN) until the
router is configured to allow remote viewing of the camera over the Internet.
