Remote Viewing via Internet Explorer
It is likely that you may wish to check the video or audio of the IP
camera from a remote location. The following are the steps which you
will need to perform in order for a successful viewing.
The figure above denotes a general condition where:
a. The IP camera has a static virtual IP address of 192.168.0.1
b. The WAN IP address at the IP camera site is 61.220.20.16.
c. The client (user) is trying to view the video / audio stream
remotely.
1.
Please ensure that the camera’s image quality is set corresponding
to the host’s upload limit. You can check the camera’s image
quality setting under ActiveX -> Setup -> Video -> Quality. Should
you set quality higher than that of the upload limit, you will
experience stutter in video or black video screen.
2.
Check the ports on the camera by going into ActiveX -> Setup ->
Network and note down the HTTP and RTSP server ports, in this
case, ports 80 and 554 respectively.
