5)Open Virtual Server Ports To Enable Remote Image Viewing
The Virtual Server Ports of your router must be opened for remote access to your camera. This is also referred to as port forwarding. Please proceed as follows:
•Select Enabled to enable virtual server settings.
•Enter your camera’s Local IP Address (Step d) in the Private IP field.
•Select TCP under Protocol Type.
•If you are using the default camera port settings, enter 80 in to the Public and Private Port section*.
•Schedule should be set to Always so that the camera images can be accessed at any time.
•In the Virtual Servers List, a check mark appearing before the camera name will indicate that the ports are enabled.
•Click Apply to save your settings. Note: If you are installing multiple cameras, be sure to open TWO ports per additional camera installed: port 81, 82, etc. for web server and port 8482, 8483, etc for image transfer.
