Connecting to a Camera via the Internet

You can NOT connect to a camera via the Internet unless the camera Administrator has configured both the camera and the Internet Gateway/Router used by the camera.

See Making Video available from the Internet in Chapter 4 - Advanced Viewing Setup for details of the required configuration.

Also, you need a broadband Internet connection to view video effectively. Dial-up connections are NOT supported.

To establish a connection from your PC to the Network Camera via the Internet:

1.Obtain the following information from the Administrator of the camera you wish to connect to:

Internet IP Address or Domain Name of the camera.

Port number for HTTP connections.

Login (username, password) if required.

2.Start Internet Explorer.

3.In the Address box, enter the following:

HTTP://Internet_Address:port_number

Where Internet_Address is the Internet IP address or Domain Name of the camera, and port_number is the port number used for HTTP (Web) connections to the camera.

Examples using an IP address:

HTTP://203.70.212.52:1024

Where the Internet IP address is 203.70.212.52 and the HTTP port number is 1024.

Example using a Domain Name:

HTTP://mycamera.dyndns.tv:1024

Where the Domain name (using DDNS in this example) is mycamera.dyndns.tv and the HTTP port number is 1024.
