VC 220 Dome WDR Day/Night PoE Network Camera Administration Guide
Port forwarding allows Internet access to multiple cameras that are located inside
a local network. For example, you have two cameras behind a NAT router – one is
on primary or alternate port 1024 and the second one is on port 1028. To access
each camera individually, set up two port forwarding rules to access the web
interface of the camera. You can then go to http://x.x.x.x:####/ where x.x.x.x is the
WAN IP of the router and #### is the defined alternate port on the camera.
To set up port forwarding, follow these steps:
From the camera's web-based configuration utility, click Network Setting > Port
Setting.
Enter a port number in the primary or secondary HTTP Port field. For example,
enter 1028. Valid port settings are 1024-65535.
When you open the URL to the camera, you now must specify the WAN IP address
and the port number.
Click Save and close the page.
Enter the IP address of your router in your web browser's Address field and press
Enter. In this example, the default IP address of the router is used (192. 1 68. 1 . 1 .).
From the web-based configuration utility, click Firewall > Port Range Forwarding.
In the Port Range Forwarding page, configure the following:
a. Enter the Application name, such as Camera.
b. Enter the Start and End RTSP port. In this example, 1028 is used and this
should match the HTTP port configured on the camera in
c. Ensure that Protocol is set to Both (TCP and UDP).
d. Enter the IP address of the camera, in the IP Address field.
e. Check the Enable box to enable forwarding.
Click Save to save the configuration to the router.
Locate the WAN IP address for your router. Click Setup > Summary to view the
WAN IP address of the router. The WAN IP address is displayed in the Network
Setting Status section.
