Network Camera User’s Guide
the Internet over a series of numbered ports. The ports normally used by the Network
Camera are blocked from access over the Internet. Therefore, these ports need to be
made accessible over the Internet. This is accomplished using the Virtual Server
function on the router. The Virtual Server ports used by the camera must be opened
through the router for remote access to your camera. Virtual Server is accessed by
clicking on the Advanced tab of the router screen.
Follow these steps to configure your router’s Virtual Server settings
• Click Enabled.
• Enter a unique name for each entry.
• Select Both under Protocol Type (TCP and UDP)
• Enter your camera’s local IP Address (e.g., 192.168.0.20, for example) in the
Private IP field.
• If you are using the default camera port settings, enter 80 into the Public and
Private Port section, click Apply.
• Scheduling should be set to Always so that the camera images can be accessed
at any time.

A check mark appearing before the entry name will indicate that the ports are enabled.
Important: Some ISPs block access to port 80. Be sure to check with your ISP so that
you can open the appropriate ports accordingly. Some ISPs block traffic on commonly
used ports to conserve bandwidth. If your ISP does not pass traffic on port 80, you will
need to change the port the camera uses from 80 to something else, such as 8080. Not
all routers are the same, so refer to your user manual for specific instructions on how to
open ports.
