Network Camera Setup
The Network Camera configuration does NOT have be changed, unless:
• You wish to change the port number from the default value (1024).
• You wish to use the DDNS (Dynamic DNS) feature of the Network Camera.
HTTP Port Configuration
Normally, HTTP (Web) connections use port 80. Since the Network Camera uses HTTP, but port 80 is likely to be used by a Web
Server, you can use a different port for the Network Camera. This port is called the Secondary Port.
The default Secondary Port is 1024. If you prefer to use a different port number, you can specify the port number on the Network
Camera's Network screen, as shown below.
Figure 19: Network Screen
See Chapter 5 - Web-based Management for further details on using the Network screen.
Viewers need to know this port number in order to connect
and view live Video, so you must inform viewers of the
correct port number.
DDNS (Dynamic DNS)
Many Internet connections use a "Dynamic IP address", where the Internet IP address is allocated whenever the Internet connection is
established.
This means that other Internet users don't know the IP address, so can't establish a connection.
DDNS is designed to solve this problem, by allowing users to connect to your LAN using a domain name, rather than an IP address.
To use DDNS:
1. Register for the DDNS service with a supported DDNS service provider. You can then apply for, and be allocated, a Domain
Name.
