How to enter admin page from the internet?
wifilink:
I can enter the camera admin page and see the live view from within my home network (192.168.0.XXX) but how do I access this from the internet? I have a D-Link 4300 router but can't figure out how to set this up. Right now it's set up using DHCP. Do I have to use my ISP IP or the internal (192.168.0.XXX)?

If you want to directly access your camera from the open Internet, you will need to enable and setup port forwarding on the DIR-4300 and assign a specific port for the DCS-5020L. Once configured, you should be able to access the DCS-5020L using your ISP IP address + port number combination.
Alternatively, the setup page is accessible from the mydlink website.

Ok I got it. The port that I was using wasn't working for some reason. I tried a few different ones and finally found one that works.
Also will the mydlink app for the iphone have presets like in the admin page? It takes so long to pan the camera all the way around by tapping the arrows.

I don't personally own a D-Link pan/tilt camera, so I'm not sure what functionality is supported by the app(s). Another member will have to chime in here... ;)

Who can really say what D-Link will include in a future release, but why wait? Now that you have port forwarding operational, look into an app called "IP Cam Viewer Lite" (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ip-cam-viewer-lite/id397322405?mt=8) in the app store. I use the Android version and it supports the 5020 and supports the presets.
