•Select a camera name.
•Enter your camera’s Local IP Address 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 a port per additional camera installed: port 81, 82, etc. for web server.
