DCS-900 Configuration
Installing the DCS-900 Behind a Router
Assigning and opening second port in the DCS-900
( For Installing Multiple Cameras)
Opening ports will allow users to view the camera via the Internet. The ports that
are opened must be unique for each camera in order to successfully view the
images remotely.
3) Open Second Port
The Open Second Port option is used when multiple cameras are being
installed behind a single public IP address and will be accessed
remotely OR for using a port other than the default port for image
viewing. For each additional camera that is installed, you must select
the Open Second Port Option and assign the appropriate Web server
port for each camera to enable remote viewing.
By default, port 80 (Web server port) is open. If these ports are available
for use, you DO NOT have to open a second port and can proceed to the
next section. If port 80 is not available (for example, if you are already
using port 80 to run a Web server or your ISP blocks access on port 80*)
you MUST open a second port and designate a new Web server port
(800, 801, 802,...etc). IMPORTANT: Be sure to take note of these
settings since these same settings will be used to configure your router.
*IMPORTANT NOTE: Some ISPs block traffic on commonly used ports like port
80 to disallow consumers from putting a server on their network. Be sure to check
with your ISP so that you can open the appropriate ports accordingly. If your ISP
does not pass traffic on port 80, you will need to change the Web server port the
camera uses from 80 to something else, like 800. If you are behind a residential
gateway, you will need to open a corresponding port on your gateway as well. Not
all gateways are the same, please refer to your gateway's user's manual for
specific instructions on how to forward ports.
