6. Why am I unable to access the Network Camera from a web browser?
If a router or firewall is used on the network, the correct ports for the DCS-6111 may not be configured on the router or firewall. To correct
the problem, you need to determine if the DCS-6111 is behind a router or firewall and if the router or firewall is properly configured
for the ports the DCS-6111 is using. Refer to Page 42 for help in opening the correct ports on a router or firewall for use with the DCS-

product by connecting a local computer to the unit. If the problem is not solved, the Fixed Dome Day & Night Network Camera With
WDR Sensor might be faulty.
