Publish images from the network camera on the Internet

Once installed, a camera is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the
camera from the Internet you must configure your broadband router to allow incoming
data traffic. For security reasons this is usually done on a specific port.
For more instructions, please visit the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service at
www.axiscam.net
Port forwarding is used for inbound traffic when you have a firewall or NAT Router
(Network address translation). To publish the images from the network camera on the
Internet, set a port for all inbound Web traffic. As an example, set port 80, which is the
most common port for Web traffic. When using multiple cameras, set one port for each
camera. It is beneficial to have an ISP (Internet Service Provider) that provides a static
IP address and/or a router for NAT supporting port forwarding.
