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.
