3.2. Access from the internet
Access from the internet once connected, the Network Camera is accessible on your local network
(LAN). To access the network camera from the Internet you must configure your broadband router to
allow incoming data traffic to the network camera. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature, which
will attempt to automatically configure the router to allow access to the network camera. This is
enabled from Setup > System > Network > NAT.
For more information, please see "3.5.6 System>Network>NAT" of User's Manual.
3.3 Setting the admin password over a secure connection
To gain access to the product, the password for
the default administrator user must be set. This
is done in the "Admin Password" dialog, which is
displayed when the network camera is accessed
for the setup at the first time. Enter your admin
name and password, set by the administrator.
Note: The default administrator username is
admin and password is admin. If the password is
lost, the Network Camera must be reset to the
factory default settings. See "3.8 Resetting to the
Factory Default Settings".
To prevent network eavesdropping when setting the admin password, use an encrypted HTTPS
connection, which requires an HTTPS certificate (see note below).
To set the password via a standard HTTP connection, enter it directly in the first dialog box.
To set the password via an encrypted HTTPS connection, see "3.5.6 System >Security>HTTPS".
Note: HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over SSL) is a protocol used to encrypt the traffic between
web browsers and servers. The HTTPS certificate controls the encrypted exchange of information.
