Configuring Remote Connection
5. CONFIGURING REMOTE CONNECTION
Follow the steps below to configure your camera for connections over the
Internet using a web browser, Syncro-V, or other VMS software.
Step 1 of 6: Locate the camera’s local IP address:
• See “4. Finding the Camera’s IP Address” on page 10.
Step 2 of 6: Port Forward your router:
You need to enable port forwarding for the following ports on your router to
the camera’s local IP address:
• HTTP Port (default:
80
)
• Control Port (default:
30001
)
NOTE:
If you are configuring multiple IP cameras for individual remote
access, you must change the ports for each camera. Two cameras cannot
use the same port number.
NOTE:
Port forwarding the RTSP and RTMP ports is not necessary unless
your installation has special requirements.
There are two methods for port forwarding:
• You can manually port forward your router. See your router’s user manual
for details. An example of a port forwarding screen is shown below.
• Or, you can use the Digimerge Auto Port Forwarding Wizard provided on
the CD to automatically configure the necessary ports. See the Auto Port
Forwarding manual on the CD for details.
