12: Remote Access to a Camera & Router Setup
To gain access to a camera in your local network over the Internet, certain ports need to be opened and forwarded in your router. The camera uses the following ports by default:
-Web Server port = 80
-Image Transfer port = 40001
-Audio Send port = 40008
-Audio Receive port = 40008
-Upgrade port = 9000
-PTZ port = 10000
-ETSP port = 11000
-HTTPS port = 443
-RTSP port = 554
To view the live image over the Internet, the Web server port and image transfer port need to be opened and forwarded in the router.
To receive and send sound, the audio send and receive ports must also be added to the router configuration.
If you wish to use HTTPS port 443 must be included to the router setup.
If you want to use the RTSP protocol port 554 needs to be added to the port forwarding setup of the router.
Before you can add the information in the router, find out which local IP address your camera has and which ports it uses by connecting to the camera's Web administrator menu (Network Configuration screen).
NOTE:
1. IP Address of camera
