Check the box to enable automatic traffic control.
Set a limitation on user network resources by designating the maximum bandwidth. Select either
the Maximum bandwidth or Automatic frame rate radio button.
- Maximum bandwidth: In case of sharing other network programs or equipment, it is
possible to set a limitation on the maximum bandwidth in the unit of Mbit/s or kbit/s.
- Automatic frame rate control: Selected if not influenced by a network-related program
or equipment without a limitation on the network bandwidth.
When the settings are complete, click Save, or click Reset to revert to previously saved settings.
 NAT (Port Mapping)
A broadband router allows devices on a private network (LAN) to share a single connection to the
Internet. This is done by forwarding network traffic from the private network to the “outside”, that is,
the Internet. Security on the private network (LAN) is increased since most broadband routers are
pre-configured to stop attempts to access the private network (LAN) from the public network/Internet.
Use NAT when your network cameras are located on an intranet (LAN) and you wish to make it
available from the other (WAN) side of a NAT router. With NAT traversal properly configured, all HTTP
traffic to an external HTTP port in the NAT router is forwarded to the network camera.
Notes:
- For NAT traversal to work, this must be supported by the broadband router.
- The broadband router has many different names:
“NAT router”, “Network router“, Internet Gateway”, “Broadband sharing device” or “Home
firewall,” but the essential purpose of the device is the same.
