59ADVANCED SETTINGSPort ForwardingThe UPnP Setup of camera show a method of Port Forwarding（see page 30 for details），but some routersmaybe can’t support UPnP Port Forwarding, therefore, users need to configure Port Forwarding manually.Firewall security features built into the router may prevent users from accessing the camera over the Internet.The router connects to the Internet over a series of “ports”. The default ports used by the camera are usuallyblocked from access over the Internet, therefore, these ports need to be made accessible. This is achievedusing the Port Forwarding function on the router. The ports used by the camera must be opened through therouter for remote access to your camera. Check your router’s user manual for specific instructions on how toopen and route ports on you router.Important: Some ISPs block access to port 80 and other commonly used Internet ports. Check with your ISPin order to open the appropriate ports. If your ISP does not pass traffic on port 80, you will need to change thecamera’s default port number from 80 to a different number such as 9000.Viewing Your CameraTo access the camera from a computer on your local network, simply enter the IP Address of the Camerafollowed by a colon and the camera’s port number. It is not necessary to enter the colon and port number ifyou are using the camera’s default port 80.To access the camera from the internet, type the external IP Address of the router, followed by a colon, andthe port number of your camera (e.g., Http://210.118.166.68:9000).
60Proxy Server SettingA proxy server may prevent you from connecting to the camera in some corporate environments. The webbrowser can set up the IP address communication without using a proxy server. Consult your ISP or networkadministrator for further details.Note: A proxy server is generally used to maintain security on a network when connected to the internet. Theproxy server may cause lack of image quality and delays in refresh intervals. Consult your ISP or networkadministrator for further details.1. Start Internet Explorer.2. Select [Tools] –> [Internet Options...] –> [Connections] tab and click [LAN Settings].Verify that the Use a proxy server check box is not checked. When checked, click [Advanced...].When not checked, click [Cancel]. Your proxy server settings should not cause any problems.3. Enter the IP address of your camera into the Do not use proxy server for addresses beginningwith data field.4. Click [OK] on all of the opened windows.
61Reset the cameraThere are two ways to reset the camera back to its factory defaults:1. Press the Reset button on the side of the camera through the pin hole.2. Through the camera setup under the heading Backup or Reset (see page 47 for details)

JPEG: A standard image format, used widely for photographs, also known as JPG.3. IEEE 802.11b/g: The specifications developed by the IEEE for wireless network technology. It provides 11Mbps transmission in the 2.4GHz band usage.4. WEP: Wireless Equivalent Privacy. A security protocol for wireless network defined in the IEEE 802.11b/gstandard. WEP aims to provide security by encrypting data over radio waves so that it is protected as it istransmitted from one end point to another.5. Adhoc Mode: A wireless network system in which devices communicate directly with each other, withoutthe use of a wireless router.6. Infrastructure Mode: One of the wireless network system in which devices communicate with each otherby first going through the wireless router.7. IP Address: The unique 32 bit number assigned to each computer connected to the Internet. IP numbersare used by the TCP/IP protocol to route packets of data to their destinations.8. TCP/IP: The collection of "protocols" underlying the functioning of the Internet. Each computer connectedto the Internet is identified by a unique IP Address.9. SMTP: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol.10. FTP: File Transfer Protocol. Network cameras equipped with an embedded operating system, such asLinux, can use FTP to send images to a website.11. DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is a set of rules used by communications devices such as acomputer, router or network adapter to allow the device to request and obtain an IP address from a serverwhich has a list of addresses available for assignment.12 UPnP: Universal Plug and Play is an architecture for pervasive peer-to-peer network connectivity ofintelligent appliances and wireless devices.13. DDNS: DDNS is a method of keeping a domain name linked to a dynamic IP address with your SharxSecurity VIPcella-IR Network Camera. You can set up your DDNS service and the device will automaticallyupdate your DDNS server each time it alter a different IP address.14. Time server: A time server consists of a computer networking device that reads the actual time from areference clock and distributes this information to its clients using a computer network.15. WPA: Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) is a class of systems to secure wireless (Wi-Fi)computer networks. WPA implements the majority of the IEEE 802.11i standard, and was intended as anintermediate measure to take the place of WEP while 802.11i was prepared.
