The camera works locally,
but not externally.
Check if there are firewall settings that need to be adjusted.
Check if there are router settings that need to be configured.
Poor or intermittent network
connection.
If using a network switch, check that the port on that de-
vice uses the same setting for the network connection type
(speed/duplex).
The camera cannot be ac-
cessed via a host name.
Check that the host name and DNS server settings are cor-
rect.
Not possible to log in.

(HTTP or HTTPS) is used. When attempting to log in, you
may need to manually type in http or https in the browser’s
address bar.
