Making Video available from the Internet

If your LAN is connected to the Internet, typically by a Broadband Gateway/Router and
Broadband modem, you can make the Network Camera available via the Internet. You will
need to configure your Router or Gateway to allow connections from the Internet to the camera.

Router/Gateway Setup

Your Router or Gateway must be configured to pass incoming TCP (HTTP) connections (from
Internet Viewers) to the Network Camera. The Router/Gateway uses the Port Number to
determine which incoming connections are intended for the Network Camera.

This feature is normally called Port Forwarding or Virtual Servers, and is illustrated below.
The Port Forwarding/Virtual Server entry tells the Router/Gateway that incoming TCP
connections on port 1024 should be passed to the Network Camera. If necessary, check the
user manual for your Router/Gateway for further details.

The "Port" for the Port Forwarding / Virtual Server entry
above is the " Secondary Port" number specified on the
Network
screen of the Network Camera.
