Note: The default administrator user name root is permanent and cannot be deleted.

Accessing the cameras from the Internet

Once installed, a camera is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the camera from the Internet you must configure your broadband router to allow incoming data traffic. For security reasons this is usually done on a specific port. Please refer to the documentation for your broadband router for further instructions.
