Port Forwarding for the Veo Observer

The Veo Observer requires certain ports to be open on your router to allow other computers on the Internet to “see” the camera from your own internal network. Normally, your router will have the less common ports disabled or blocked by the router’s built-in firewall. So that the Veo Observer application can work properly and is not blocked, the firewall needs to be told about them. In each instance there will be a trigger port and incoming port(s), where traffic on the trigger port tells the Firewall to open the incoming ports. The Veo Observer requires that Port 80 and 1600 are opened to the Internet.

There are two ways to configure Port Forwarding on your computer, through the “Virtual Server” or “DMZ” settings on your router. The “DMZ” setting exposes the camera to unrestricted 2-way communication from outside of your network and is not recommended unless you are experiencing connection issues. Contact your router manufacturer for further information on the “Virtual Server” and “DMZ” settings on your router if you are unsure of their functions.
