How to access the product from the internet
A network router allows products on a private network (LAN) to share a single connection to the internet. This is done by forwarding
network traffic from the private network to the internet.
Most routers are pre-configured to stop attempts to access the private network (LAN) from the public network (internet).
If the Axis product is located on an intranet (LAN) and you want to make it available from the other (WAN) side of a NAT (Network
Address Translator) router, turn on
NAT traversal
. With NAT traversal properly configured, all HTTP traffic to an external HTTP port
in the NAT router is forwarded to the product.
How to turn on the NAT-traversal feature
•
Go to
Settings > System > Plain config > Network
.
•
Select
NAT traversal enabled
.
•
Enter
External IP address
.
•
Enter the IP address of the
NAT traversal router
.
•
Manually configure your NAT router to allow access from the internet.

Note
• In this context, a “router” refers to any network routing device such as a NAT router, network router, internet gateway,
broadband router, broadband sharing device, or a software such as a firewall.
• For NAT traversal to work, NAT traversal must be supported by the router. The router must also support UPnP
