• Use UPnP: If the camera is connected to the
network via an IP router (or NAT), select this option
to connect to the camera without setting up port
forwarding. The IP router (or NAT) must be enabled
with UPnP in order for this feature to function
properly. For more information enabling UPnP on
your IP router (or NAT), refer to the IP router or
NAT's operation manual.
Click Check to test the current port settings.
A confirmation message will appear if all the
selected ports are available for use. If not, a list of
recommended port numbers will be shown.
Click Apply to use the recommended port numbers.
• Each port number must be unique. Otherwise, you
will not be able to connect to the camera from the
remote program.
• You can connect to the camera using a media
player that supports RTSP service and monitor
its video feed. If the camera is connected to the
network via an IP router (or NAT) or is behind
a firewall, you must open the ports. (All ports if
using UDP protocol and RTSP ports if using TCP
protocol) This feature may not be supported by al
media player. In addition, video display on certain
media players may not be smooth depending on
the network status, video streaming compression
method used, and/or the resolution setting.
Connection methods are as follows:
– Via PC: Launch the media player (such as
VLC) and then enter rtsp://ID:Password@
IP Address: RTSP Port Number/
trackID='Stream Number' (Stream Number:
1 if Primary, 2 if Secondary, and 3 if Tertiary).
(e.g.: rtsp://admin:@10.0.152.35:554/trackID=1
(User: admin, Password: None, Camera IP
Address: 10.0.152.35, RTSP Port Number:
554, Stream: Primary))
– Via Mobile Device: Launch the web browser
and then enter http://IP Address:IDIS Web
Port Number/ (If Use HTTPS has been
enabled, enter https instead of http). Camera's
IDIS Web port number and RTSP port number
must be configured correctly in order to
establish a connection this way.
• Port numbers of the remote program must be
updated whenever the camera's port numbers are
changed.
• ONVIF protocol may not function if using HTTPS.
