If the Video Server is monitored by the Quadrox Monitoring Department, TCP Port
5666 needs to be opened.
A firewall can be placed on several positions in the network. The most common place is at the
edge of the corporate network, or in other words between the corporate network and the
Internet. Recently it also became popular to place a firewall to protect the network traffic from
a single computer. A firewall that is placed between the computer and the network is referred
to as a ‘Personal Firewall’ application.
In practice, a corporate network firewall is often integrated with the router connecting the LAN
and the internet. For more information on routers, see the section on connecting the
GuardNVR to the internet. A personal firewall is software running on the computer that it
protects. Personal firewall applications can be installed separately but are also included in the
Windows XP operating system (Service Pack 2) or Vista and in many virus protection
software packages.
There are several scenarios where firewall configuration is necessary:
1. A user on a corporate network or at home behind a broadband router wants to access a
GuardNVR on the Internet
2. A user on the Internet wants to access a GuardNVR on a corporate network.
These situations are explained in more detail in the section on how to connect your GuardNVR
to the internet. If a user on a corporate network wants to connect to a GuardNVR on another
network, a logical combination of these two situations can be applied.
1. A user with a personal firewall application on his computer wants to access a
GuardNVR on the corporate network or on the Internet.
2. There is a personal firewall application installed on the GuardNVR.
