Connecting to a Camera via the Internet

You can NOT connect to a camera via the Internet unless the camera
Administrator has configured both the camera and the Internet Gateway/Router
used by the camera.

See Making Video available from the Internet in Chapter 4 - Advanced Viewing
Setup
for details of the required configuration.

Also, you need a broadband Internet connection to view video effectively. Dial-up
connections are NOT supported.

To establish a connection from your PC to the FCS-1091/WCS-1090 via the Internet:

connect to:

• Internet IP Address or Domain Name of the camera.
• Port number for HTTP connections.
• Login (username, password) if required.

10. Start Internet Explorer.

11. In the Address box, enter the following:

HTTP://Internet_Address:port_number

Where Internet_Address is the Internet IP address or Domain Name of the camera,
and port_number is the port number used for HTTP (Web) connections to the
camera.

Examples using an IP address:

HTTP://203.70.212.52:1024

Where the Internet IP address is 203.70.212.52 and the HTTP port number is
1024.
