The following section describes the initial configuration of the router and port forwarding for your router. If your router is not listed here, please refer to the manufacturer’s website for assistance with configuring your router to work with iCAMView.

Port Forwarding for iCAMView

iCAMView requires certain ports to be open on your router to allow other computers on the Internet to “see” it on your internal network. Normally, your router will have the less common ports disabled or blocked by the router’s built-in firewall. In order for the iCAMView applications to work properly and not be blocked, the firewall settings need to be configured. In each instance there will be a trigger port and incoming port(s), where traffic on the trigger port tells the Firewall to open the incoming ports. The iCAMView require that TCP Port 80 and UDP 9001 (default settings) be opened to the Internet. TCP Port 80 is used for accessing the camera’s homepage and UDP Port 9001 is used for authentication and video streaming.

If your Internet service Provider blocks port 80/9001, you’ll need to reconfigure your camera and router to other ports such as 81/9002, 82/9003, etc. To change the port settings on the camera, you’ll need to use iCAMView Utility.

Follow the steps below to configure your router, depending on the router manufacturer and model. If your particular router manufacturer or model is not listed below, please contact your router manufacturer for further assistance in configuring the router.
