Accessing the AXIS 215 PTZ from the Internet

Once installed, your AXIS 215 PTZ is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the camera from the Internet, network routers must be configured to allow incoming traffic, which is usually done on a specific port. Please refer to the documentation for your router for further instructions. For more information on this and other topics, visit the Axis Support Web at www.axis.com/techsup
