EZWatch EZWatchIP 4.0 - 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 5150,
5160, 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 5150, 5160, 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 entry each for 5150, 5160, 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 EZ Watch 4.0 Software:
The following will help you to set up EZ Watch 4.0 software so you can view your camera system from a remote
location.
First: Open up the EZ Watch pro 4.0 Main Console. Within the main
console, you can access the settings for the remote access by
clicking on ‘Config’, and then selecting ‘Network Service’ from the
menu that appears. This will give you three sections to configure the
network service : Live Streaming, Remote Playback, and 3GPP.
Live Streaming configures your ability to connect and watch what’s
going on live from a remote PC. While people are connected, they
will show up under ‘Client Count’. The Kill Client/Kill All Client buttons
will allow you to disconnect a person while they are watching the
cameras. Port 5150 should be left alone, but if you cannot use Port
80 (Either because it’s already in use or if it’s blocked by your ISP)
you will need to change the Default Web Server Port to 8000. Once
the ports have been entered, Click on ‘Start’ to activate the server.
