How does iCAMView connect to the Internet?

The following diagram illustrates three common network configurations for iCAMView;

1. iCAMView is connected to a Router/IP share and Cable/xDSL modem to stream video to the internet.  This is the most common configuration where a Router is used.  The Router Port Forwarding has to be configured to allow Public access to iCAMView. 

2. iCAMView is connected to a HUB and a Cable / xDSL modem.  In this setup, the user will need to setup PPPoE within iCAMView.  Enter the username and password as provided by the ISP to allow iCAMView to dial-up to the internet.

3. iCAMView is connected directly to a Cable / xDSL modem.  Similiar to configuration above, the PPPoE section in iCAMView will have to be configured to allow access to the internet.  In addition, the user will have to setup a DDNS account (choose from the list provided by iCAMView Setup Wizard)
