connection, if the response shown is "Request timed out", it may be caused
by the setting of the IP Address. Please refer to chapter 2.2.

connected with a switch Hub or connected with the IP Camera being
directly connected to the computer. If you want to connect with an older
Hub, please remember to use a standard RJ-45 Cable.

camera (default = 80)] has been forwarded to the camera. Please refer to
your gateway / router's user manual.
