it is not recommended.

The WDR D&N Fixed Dome Network Camera uses Category 5 UTP cable allowing 10 Base-T and 100 Base-T networking solutions.
3. Can the Network Camera be setup as a PC-cam on a computer?

5. Can the Network Camera be installed and work if a rewall exists in the network?
If a rewall exists in the network, port 80 is open for ordinary data communication and HTTPS port 443 for . The DCS-6111 uses RTSP
port 554, RTP port 556, and RTP port 558 for streaming audio and video. These ports (or the ports you have specied in the Setup Tab
in the Conguration screen) need to be opened on the rewall.
6. Why am I unable to access the Network Camera from a web browser?
If a router or rewall is used on the network, the correct ports for the DCS-6111 may not be congured on the router or rewall. To correct
the problem, you need to determine if the DCS-6111 is behind a router or rewall and if the router or rewall is properly congured for
the ports the DCS-6111 is using. Refer to Page 42 for help in opening the correct ports on a router or rewall for use with the DCS-6111.
Other possible problems might be due to the network cable. Try replacing your network cable. Test the network interface of the product
by connecting a local computer to the unit. If the problem is not solved, the WDR D&N Fixed Dome Network Camera might be faulty.
7. Why does the Network Camera work locally but not externally?
• This might be caused by network rewall protection. The setting of the rewall may need to be changed in order for the WDR D&N
Fixed Dome Network Camera to be accessible outside of your local LAN. Check with the Network Administrator for your network.
• Make sure that your WDR D&N Fixed Dome Network Camera isn’t conicting with any Web server you may have running on your
network.
• The default router setting might be a possible reason. Check that the conguration of the router settings allows the WDR D&N Fixed
Dome Network Camera to be accessed outside of your local LAN.
