If you allocate one of these static public IP address to the iGuard, then without further programming, you can monitor the camera on line from anywhere in the world, given the camera is connected to the cable/DSL modem directly.
  • Page 72 Appendix A: Network Configuration/Router Programming DDNS: In order to access the iGuard from internet, you will have to know the external IP address of your router. If you have a consumer grade broadband service, this IP address may change over time, making it impossible for the remote PC to communicate with your iGuard, just like you ask people to call you but you change your phone number without notified the other party.
