EZWatch EZWatchIP 3.1 - Manual (Page 6)

Step #6: Firewalls:
If you are using any type of firewall whether it is software or hardware, you will need to open up ports 1201,
1001, 1201,
1901 and 80 or 8000. If not opened, the firewall will block the incoming request and you will not be able to connect. If you
are using Window’s XP with Service Pack 2 Installed, then you are behind a Firewall. Service Pack 2 in Window’s XP has
a built in Firewall that is automatically enabled on system start up. So if you’re using Window’s XP with Service Pack 2,
you will need to open up ports 1201, 1001, 1201, 1901 and 80 or 8000 to allow the incoming connection. Follow the steps
below to open the ports.
First, click “Start”, then go to “Control Panel”. In the Control Panel, click on the “Security Center” icon. This should bring up
the Window’s Security Center window. At the bottom of this page, click on “Windows Firewall”, and it will bring up the
Windows Firewall page. Here you will click on the “Exceptions” tab, and then click “Add Port” at the bottom to add the
ports. You will need to add ports, one for , 1001, 1201, 1901 and 80 or 8000
as shown below. After you have added both
ports, you can click “Ok” to save your settings.
TIP: If you are behind a router or hardware firewall, you can disable windows firewall or any other software firewall on the
computer. This allows total access for all the EZWatch applications and makes it easier to setup remote access. You do
not need to worry about not having a firewall since a router acts as a firewall.
Step #7: How to setup the Internet Explorer browser server or EzWebServer:
The following will help you to set up EzWebServer so you can view your camera system from a remote location via
Internet Explorer.
First: Go to start, All Programs, EZWatch 3.0 HD and click on “IE Browse
Server – EzWebServer”. Now that you are in the program, check “enable auto
run system”. This is to ensure that the web server will start every time the
computer starts. Click on “Setup EzWebServer”.
Root Directory is where the web files are stored. You do not need to change
this. Web IP address is where you input your internet IP address or the
address that you got form
http://www.whatismyip.com If you have a domain
name from our EzWatchIP service or elsewhere, you can insert it here. Listen
port is port that the browser uses to connect to the web server. The default is
80. You can either leave it or change it to 8000 as mentioned in step # 4. Click
on “Web File”.
