As mentioned earlier, since the camera's IP address is in the first subnet, you will need to modify the router's IP address ('''only if you've made changes to router's default IP address before!''') so that it is also in the same subnet (at least temporarily; later you can change the camera's IP address to correspond with your router's).

Even though this guide focuses on setup that involves the camera being connected to one of the router's LAN ports, we recognize that some users may be configuring their camera separately by connecting it to a PC. Therefore, this section will provide a short guide on how to do this.

If you are connecting the camera straight to your PC's Ethernet board, you will need to configure a Static IP address on your computer. Since the camera's IP address (192.168.1.64), the computer's IP address must be in the first subnet as well. Presented below are links to two short guides on how to configure a Static IP address on a PC - one for Windows, the other for Linux.

* Navigate to the '''Firewall''' page, located under the '''Network''' tab:

* Navigate to the '''Port Forwards''' tab by going to '''Network → Firewall → Port Forwards''':

* Scroll down to the bottom of the page and locate the '''New Port Forward Rule''' section. Set the following parameters:

# External port(s): '''8888''' (camera's HTTP port as set in the [[Hikvision:_remote_camera_access#Camera.27s_Web_User_Interface_.28WebUI.29|3.2]] section of this article)

# Internal IP: '''192.168.1.64''' (camera's IP as set in the [[Hikvision:_remote_camera_access#Camera.27s_Web_User_Interface_.28WebUI.29|3.2]] section of this article)

* If you plan viewing the camera's live stream via some sort of media player (for example, VLC), you should configure an additional Port Forwarding rule. Media players like VLC use the '''RTSP''' protocol. You can check the RTSP port in the camera's WebUI (as discussed in the [[Hikvision:_remote_camera_access#Camera.27s_Web_User_Interface_.28WebUI.29|3.2]] section of this article), but the RTSP default port is always '''554''' and there is no need to change it since by default the router doesn't use this port for any of its services (unless you use for some custom configuration. In that case, change the default RTSP port). So, once again make up a custom name for a new rule and set the following parameters:

* Don't forget to click '''Add''' after you've made the changes. After you have added the new rule, you will redirected to that rule's configuration window. Everything should already be in order so just click '''Save''' and your rule will be created. The new rule will appear at the bottom of the '''Port Forwarding Rules''' list, where you can check its status and make additional configurations if need be:

'''FINAL NOTE''': as you can see, once you add the new rule, it is already enabled and ready for use. From this point no more additional configurations are required, as your remote camera monitoring configuration is fully set up. Unless you want to set up Dynamic DNS for your router, you can skip to the '''[[#Testing_the_set_up|Testing the set up]]''' part of this guide.
