3.2 Access from the internet

Once connected, the VK2-1080XVRDPTZ is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access

the VK2-1080XVRDPTZ 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 "3.5.7 System >

Network > NAT" of User's Manual.

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 VK2-1080XVRDPTZ is

accessed for the setup at the first time. Enter your admin name and password, set by the

administrator.

NOTE: The default administrator user name and password is "admin". If the password is lost, the

must be reset to the factory default settings. Please see "Resetting to the factory default

settings".

To prevent network eavesdropping when setting the admin password, this can be done via 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 shown

below. To set the password via an encrypted HTTPS connection, please see "3.5.7 System >

Security > HTTPS" of User's Manual.

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.
