5.5. Manual set up of surveillance camera In the subsequent graphics it is schematically shown how the surveillance camera is integrated in your existing home network and how it is accessed from the Internet. Therouter is central to this operation. The router is the connection between your home network and the Internet. The router is thus connected to two networks at the same time, the Internet and your home network.
Page 17
As the router is, however, protected from Internet access via so-called Firewall a separate access must be set up for the sur- veillance camera. This is referred to as Port forwarding. The following installation steps are required to set up the surveillance camera in the home network and via the Internet: 1.
