Open Second Port:

The Open Second Port option is used when multiple cameras are being installed on a network OR if you need to use a port other than the default Port 80 and 8481 for image viewing. If you are installing only one camera and wish to use the default ports, you do not have to open a second port on your camera. If you are installing a camera behind a router, you must also open a port on your router for remote viewing of your camera. For detailed instructions on how to do this, please refer to the next section of this manual on how to install the DCS-900 with a router. For each additional camera that is installed, you must select the Open Second Port option and assign the approriate Web server and Transfer Image Ports for each camera to enable remote viewing.

For example, for a multiple camera installation, you can open the second port for each additional DCS-900 from Port 81 to Port 85 as follows:

Internet Camera 1 – IP 192.168.0.101, second Web Port 81

Internet Camera 2 – IP 192.168.0.102, second Web Port 82

Internet Camera 3 – IP 192.168.0.103, second Web Port 83

Internet Camera 4 – IP 192.168.0.104, second Web Port 84

Internet Camera 5 – IP 192.168.0.105, second Web Port 85
