3. Opening Ports
You will need to open unique ports for each camera in order to be able to view them remotely over the Internet.
You will need to open these ports in the “Network” section of the camera’s homepage for two reasons: a. if you
need to use ports other than the default HTTP Port 80, Control Channel Port 5001, Video Channel Port 5003,
and Audio Channel Port 5002, and b. when more than one camera is being installed on the network. Please note
that if you are using only one camera, you can use the default ports without having to open a second port. Please
also note that when installing the camera behind a router, you will need to open the corresponding ports (same as
the open camera ports) on the router for remote viewing (i.e., over the Internet). In some instances when
installing behind a router, Port 80 may not be available; please check your network settings or with your ISP to
confirm. In the “Network” section of the network camera’s homepage, the “HTTP” and “Streaming” fields
allow for the opening of ports for the network camera. This will permit users’ routers to support multiple
network cameras. By default, Port 80 (on the router) is always open for network camera web server access. For
each additional camera that you intend to install, to enable remote viewing (and/or audio and controls), you will
need to assign unique HTTP and Streaming ports.
