1st. make sure you have a static ip. If not, set up a dyndns account so you will know what ip or name to connect to.

2nd. In the router level, set port forwarding so the router knows to send it to the ip cam device.

make sure the router is set up to connect with dyndns

If your dyndns is up to date and your router is forwarding the ports correct. If it does not work you can see if dyndns is pointing to the correct ip by checken if "http://www.whatismyip.com" matches "nslookup yourdyndnsaddress". The nslookup command should be executed in a commandprompt.
