3. Opening/Setting 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, for
example) in the Private IP field.
z
If you are using the default camera port settings, enter 80 into the
Public and the Private Port section and 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.
