Viewing Your Camera Over the Internet
After all settings have been entered correctly, a user inside or outside your network will have access to the camera through a standard Web browser. To access your camera, simply type in the IP address of the router given to you by your ISP, a colon, and the HTTP port number that you gave your camera.
http://<ip address>:<port>
To access your camera’s video streams directly, open your PC’s/device’s web browser or media player and type in the IP address of the router given to you by your ISP, a colon, the RTSP port number that you gave your camera, then the type of video stream you want to view as follows:
3GPP stream (mobile phone / pda): rtsp://<ip address>:<port>/3gpp
rtsp://<ip address>:<port>/mp4 | |
MJPEG stream (PC): | rtsp://<ip address>:<port>/jpeg |
To access your camera from a computer on your local (home) network, simply enter the local IP address of your camera (i.e. 192.168.0.35). If using a port other than port 80, you must enter the IP address followed by a colon and the assigned port number.
Note: If your camera is connected to the Internet, you can also use the Camera IP given to you on the stickers inside your box.
Viewing Your Camera Over the Internet Behind a Router

This will allow you to open the necessary ports in order to view video from your camera. Consult your router/firewall’s User Manual, and use the following information to set up port triggering:
•Port trigger: 554 (if you have changed the RTSP port on your camera, use that number here)
•Ports to open:
