3.3 Access from the internet
Once the Network Camera is connected to the Internet, it is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access
the video encoder from the Internet, you must configure your broadband router to allow incoming data traffic to
the video encoder. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature, which will attempt to automatically configure
the router to allow access to the video encoder. This is enabled from Setup > System > Network > NAT.
For more information, please see “3.5.4 System>Network>NAT” of User’s Manual.
3.4 Setting the admin password over a secure connection
To gain access to the product, the password for the default administrator user must be set. This is done in the
“Admin Password” dialog, which is displayed when the network camera is accessed for the setup at the first
time. Enter your admin name and password, set by the administrator.
Note: The default administrator username and password is “admin”. If the password is lost, the Network
Camera must be reset to the factory default settings. See
“3.8 Resetting to the Factory Default Settings” for
more details.
To prevent network eavesdropping when setting the admin password, this can be done via an encrypted
HTTPS connection, which requires an HTTPS certificate (see note below).
To set the password via a standard HTTP connection, enter it directly in the first dialog shown below. To set the
password via an encrypted HTTPS connection, see “3.5.4 System > Security > HTTPS”.
Note: HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over SSL) is a protocol used to encrypt the traffic between web
browsers and servers. The HTTPS certificate controls the encrypted exchange of information.
