external access. However, some firewall settings may interfere with the connection between
the camera and computer.
Log onto your computer as the administrator before attempting to configure
the firewall settings.

generally configured automatically at the time of installation. If you cannot establish a wireless
connection between the camera and computer, click the [Start] menu, followed by [Control
Panel] and then double-click [Windows Firewall].
Click the [Exceptions] or [Advanced] tab, and check the three settings listed below.
Other Security Software
If you are using a firewall provided by other security software, read the user guide for that
program and check the three settings listed below.
