192.168.0.3, please forward the following ports for the Network Camera on the router.

■ HTTP port: default is 80

■ RTSP port: default is 554

■ RTP port for video: default is 5556

■ RTCP port for video: default is 5557

If you have changed the port numbers on the Network page, please open the ports

accordingly on your router. For information on how to forward ports on the router, please refer

to your router’s user’s manual.

3. Find out the public IP address of your router provided by your ISP (Internet Service Provider).

Congure the router, virtual server or rewall, so that the router can forward any data com-

ing into a precongured port number to a network camera on the private network, and

allow data from the camera to be transmitted to the outside of the network over the same

path.

... ...

When properly congured, you can access a camera behind the router using the HTTP

request such as follows: http://122.146.57.120:8000

If you change the port numbers on the Network conguration page, please open the ports

accordingly on your router. For example, you can open a management session with your

router to congure access through the router to the camera within your local network.

Please consult your network administrator for router conguration if you have troubles with

the conguration.

For more information with network conguration options (such as that of streaming ports),

please refer to Conguration > Network Settings. VIVOTEK also provides the automatic

port forwarding feature as an NAT traversal function with the precondition that your router

must support the UPnP port forwarding feature.

Currently the Network Camera utilizes a 32-bit ActiveX plugin. You CAN NOT open a

management/view session with the camera using a 64-bit IE browser.

•

If you encounter this problem, try execute the Iexplore.exe program from C:\Windows\

SysWOW64. A 32-bit version of IE browser will be installed.

•

On Windows 7, the 32-bit explorer browser can be accessed from here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

•

If you open a web session from the IW2 utility, a 32-bit IE browser will be opened.

IMPORTANT:

1. The onscreen Java control can malfunction under the following situations: A PC con-

nects to different cameras that are using the same IP address (or the same camera

running different rmware versions). Removing your browser cookies will solve this

problem.

2. If you encounter problems with displaying the conguration menus or UI items, try dis-

able the Compatibility View on IE8 or IE9.

You may also press the F12 key to open the developer tools utility, and then change the

Browser Mode to the genuine IE8 or IE9 mode.

Tips:

• In the event of plug-in compatibility issues, you may try to uninstall the plug-in that was

previously installed.
