Note: The default administrator user name root is permanent and cannot be
deleted or altered.

Accessing the camera from the Internet
Once installed, the camera is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the camera from the Internet you
must configure your router/firewall to allow incoming data traffic. For security reasons this is usually done on a
specific port. Please refer to the documentation for your router/firewall for further instructions.
