Appendix A: Router Configuration
The following section describes the initial configuration of the router and port
forwarding for your router. If your router is not listed here, please refer to the
manufacturer’s website for assistance with configuring your router to work with
iCAMView.
Port Forwarding for iCAMView
iCAMView requires certain ports to be open on your router to allow other computers
on the Internet to “see” it on your internal network. Normally, your router will have the
less common ports disabled or blocked by the router’s built-in firewall. In order for the
iCAMView applications to work properly and not be blocked, the firewall settings need
to be configured. In each instance there will be a trigger port and incoming port(s),
where traffic on the trigger port tells the Firewall to open the incoming ports. The
iCAMView require that TCP Port 80 and UDP 9001 (default settings) be opened to the
Internet. TCP Port 80 is used for accessing the camera’s homepage and UDP Port
9001 is used for authentication and video streaming.
If your Internet service Provider blocks port 80/9001, you’ll need to reconfigure your
camera and router to other ports such as 81/9002, 82/9003, etc. To change the port
settings on the camera, you’ll need to use iCAMView Utility.
Follow the steps below to configure your router, depending on the router manufacturer
and model. If your particular router manufacturer or model is not listed below, please
contact your router manufacturer for further assistance in configuring the router.
