•The layout of the web pages in the AXIS 206 may have been customized to meet specific requirements. Consequently, some of the examples and functions featured here may differ from those displayed on your own Live View page.

Access from the Internet

Once installed, your AXIS 206 is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the camera from the Internet you must configure your router to allow incoming data traffic to the camera. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature, which will attempt to automatically configure the router to allow access to the camera. This is enabled from

Setup > System Options > Network > TCP/IP Advanced.

For more information, please see NAT traversal (port mapping), on page 31. See also the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service at www.axiscam.net or, for Technical notes on this and other topics, visit the Axis Support Web at www.axis.com/techsup
