3.2. Access from the internet
Once connected, the network camera is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the
network camera from the Internet you must configure your broadband router to allow incoming data
traffic to the network camera. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature, which will attempt to
automatically configure the router to allow access to the network camera. This is enabled from Setup
> System > Network > NAT.
For more information, see “3.5.7 System>Network>NAT” of this User’s Manual.
3.3 Setting the admin password over a secure connection
To gain access to the product, the password for the default administrator user must be set. This is
done in the “Admin Password” dialog, which is displayed when the network camera
is accessed for the
setup at the first time. Enter your admin name and password, set by the administrator.
Note: The default administrator username is ADMIN and password is 1234. If the password is lost,
the network camera must be reset to the factory default settings. See “3.8 Resetting to the Factory
Default Settings” for more details.
To prevent network eavesdropping when setting the admin password, use an encrypted HTTPS
connection, which requires an HTTPS certificate (see note below).
To set the password via a standard HTTP connection, enter it directly in the first dialog shown below.
To set the password via an encrypted HTTPS connection, see “3.5.7 System >Security>HTTPS”.
Note: HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over SSL) is a protocol used to encrypt the traffic between
web browsers and servers. The HTTPS certificate controls the encrypted exchange of information.
