Accessing The Axis 211W From The Internet; The Live View Page - Axis 211W User Manual

Accessing the AXIS 211W from the Internet

Once configured, your AXIS 211W is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the camera from the
Internet, network routers must be configured to allow incoming traffic, which is usually done on a specific port.
To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature, which will attempt to automatically configure the router to allow
access to the camera. This is enabled from Setup > System Options > Network > TCP/IP Advanced.
For more information, see NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4, on page 30. See also the AXIS Internet
Dynamic DNS Service at www.axiscam.net or, for Technical notes on this and other topics, visit the Axis
Support Web at www.axis.com/techsup
