ξDNS IP Address: A DNS (Domain Name System) server is an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Enter at least one DNS IP Address in this field.
ξDynamic DNS: The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname in any of the domains, allowing your computer to be accessed more easily from various locations on the Internet.
ξSecond HTTP Port: The default port for communication is via port 80, and you can change it according to your network configuration. Select Enable from the option and enter the desired port number in the appropriate box.
The Second HTTP Port field allows you to open a second port for the network camera. This will permit users’ routers to support multiple network cameras. By default, Port 80 (on the router) is always open for network camera web server access.
For example, assume you have five network cameras to be installed, with the following IP addresses:
192.168.0.101
192.168.0.102
192.168.0.103
192.168.0.104
192.168.0.105
You can open the second port for each network camera, from port 81 to Port 85, as illustrated below:
Internet Camera 1 – IP 192.168.0.101, second web port 81 Internet Camera 2 – IP 192.168.0.102, second web port 82 Internet Camera 3 – IP 192.168.0.103, second web port 83 Internet Camera 4 – IP 192.168.0.104, second web port 84 Internet Camera 5 – IP 192.168.0.105, second web port 85
You also need to setup your router for Port Mapping.
Port 81 map to 192.168.0.101 Port 82 map to 192.168.0.102 Port 83 map to 192.168.0.103 Port 84 map to 192.168.0.104 Port 85 map to 192.168.0.105
Save/Cancel:
After making sure that all settings in the System are correct, click on the “Save” button to store the settings for the network camera. You can alternatively click on the “Cancel” button to restore all settings to the values last saved to or retrieved from the network camera.
