This section provides the menu for connecting the camera through Ethernet cable.

Users could assign the second port number of http protocol, and the WAN users should
follow the port number to login. If the http port is not assigned as 80, users have to add the
port number in back of IP address. For example: http://192.168.0.100:8080
