Making Video Available from the Internet
If your LAN is connected to the Internet, typically by a broadband gateway or router and a broadband
modem, you can make the IP camera available via the Internet. You must configure your router or
gateway to allow connections from the Internet to the camera.
Router or Gateway Setup
Your router or gateway must be configured to pass incoming TCP (HTTP) connections from Internet
viewers to the IP camera. A router or gateway uses the port number to determine which incoming
connections are intended for the IP camera.
Max. Frame Rate Select the desired maximum bandwidth for the video stream. You can
specify either the bandwidth or the frame rate, but not both. If the bandwidth
is defined, the frame rate is adjusted as necessary to achieve the specified
frame rate.
The default values for bandwidth is Unlimited, which allows you to specify
the desired frame rate.
