61 ADVANCED SETTINGS Port Forwarding The UPnP Setup of camera show a method of Port Forwarding（see page UPnP Setup）， but some routers maybe 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 usually blocked from access over the Internet, therefore, these ports need to be made accessible. This is achieved using the Port Forwarding function on the router. The ports used by the camera must be opened through the router for remote access to your camera. Check your router’s user manual for specific instructions on how to open and route ports on you router. Important: Some ISPs block access to port 80 and other commonly used Internet ports. Check with your ISP in order to open the appropriate ports. If your ISP does not pass traffic on port 80, you will need to change the camera’s default port number from 80 to a different number such as 9000. Viewing Your Camera To access the camera from a computer on your local network, simply enter the IP Address of the Camera followed by a colon and the camera’s port number. It is not necessary to enter the colon and port number if you 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, and the port number of your camera (e.g., Http://210.118.166.68:9000).
62 Proxy Server Setting A proxy server may prevent you from connecting to the camera in some corporate environments. The web browser can set up the IP address communication without using a proxy server. Consult your ISP or network administrator for further details.
