The firewall security features built into the router prevent users from accessing the video from the NC601
over the Internet. The router connects to the Internet over a series of numbered ports. The ports normally
used by the NC601 are blocked from access over the Internet. Therefore, these ports need to
be made
accessible over the Internet. This is accomplished using the Virtual Server function on the router. The
Virtual Server ports used by the camera must be opened through the router for remote access to your
NC601. See below figure.
Private IP(IP address of NC601 ): 192.168.0.100,Private Port: 80, Public
Port: 80.
Important: Some ISPs block access to port 80 and other commonly used Internet ports to conserve
bandwidth. Check with your ISP so that you can open the appropriate ports accordingly. If your ISP does
not pass traffic on port 80, you will need to change the port the
camera uses from 80 to something else,
such as 800.
Viewing Your Camera
Not all routers are the same, so refer to your user manual for specific instructions on how to open ports.
After all the router settings have been entered correctly, a PC user inside or outside your network will
have access to the camera through the Internet Explorer Web browser.
To access the camera from the Internet, type the IP Address of the router given to you by your ISP,
followed by a colon, and the port number that you gave your camera (e.g., Http://202.115.122.96:800). It
is not necessary
to enter the colon and port number if you are using the default Web server port 80. To
access from a computer on your local (home) network, simply enter the local IP Address of the Camera
(e.g., 192.168.0.100).
