First, we will configure a VPN client on the router. A VPN connection will provide remote access to the router's local network and ensure data security. If your router has a [[Private_and_Public_IP_Addresses#Static_IP_address|static public IP address]], you can access it without the help of a VPN. However, it is not recommended because the absence of a VPN leaves the cameras vulnerable on an unsafe public network with nothing but password protection.

The configuration will depend on the type of VPN that is available to you. You can find various VPN configuration guides [[VPN_Configuration_Examples|here]]. For this guide, we'll be using OpenVPN ([[OpenVPN_configuration_examples|click here]] for OpenVPN examples).

Once you set up a VPN connection or if you chose to skip this part and use the router's public IP instead, you can advance on to the next step.
