3. Open/set Virtual Server Ports to enable remote image viewing
The firewall security features built into the router and most routers prevent users from
accessing the video from the device over the Internet. The router connects to the Internet over
a series of numbered ports. The ports normally used by the device are blocked from access
over the Internet. Therefore, these ports need to be made accessible over the Internet. This is
accomplished using the Virtual Server function on the router. The Virtual Server ports used by
the camera must be opened through the router for remote access to your camera.
Follow these steps to configure your router’s Virtual Server settings:
z
Click Enabled.
z
Enter a unique name for each entry.
z
Select Both under Protocol Type (TCP and UDP)
z
Enter your camera’s local IP address (e.g., 192.168.0.100) in the Private IP field.
z
If you are using the default camera port settings, enter 80 into the Public and
Private Port section, click Add.
A check mark appearing before the entry name will indicate that the ports are enabled.
Some ISPs block access to port 80. Be sure to check with your ISP so that
you can open the appropriate ports accordingly. If your ISP does not pass
traffic on port 80, you will need to change the port the camera uses from 80
to something else, such as 8080. Not all routers are the same, so refer to
your user manual for specific instructions on how to open ports.
