Page 26: Making Video Available From The Internet
Making Video available from the Internet If your LAN is connected to the Internet, typically by a Broadband Gateway/Router and Broadband modem, you can make the Network Camera available via the Internet. You will need to configure your Router or Gateway to allow connections from the Internet to the camera. Router/Gateway Setup Your Router or Gateway must be configured to pass incoming TCP (HTTP) connections (from Internet Viewers) to the Network Camera.
Page 27 Network Camera Setup The Network Camera configuration does NOT have be changed, unless: • You wish to change the port number from the default value. • You wish to use the DDNS (Dynamic DNS) feature of the Network Camera. HTTPS Port Configuration Normally, HTTP (Web) connections use port 80.
Page 28 Figure 24: DDNS Screen 4. Operation is then automatic: • The Network Camera will automatically contact the DDNS server whenever it detects that the Internet IP address has changed, and inform the DDNS server of the new IP address. • Internet users can then connect to the camera using the Domain Name allocated by the DDNS service provider.
Page 29: Viewing Live Video Via The Internet
Viewing Live Video via the Internet Clients (viewers) will also need a broadband connection; dial-up connections are NOT recommended. Viewing Live Video Using your Web Browser If using your Web browser, you need to know the Internet IP address (or the Domain name) of the camera's Router/Gateway, and the correct port number.
