What is the HTTP Port number and Media Port number, how do we change it?
This camera supports HTTP Port and Media Port. The Media port is used to view the camera’s video
stream, HTTP Port is used to access the camera remotely. If you want to access the camera and
view the video, the Media Port and the HTTP Port must both be configured correctly.
Default HTTP Port is 88 / Default Media Port is 888
HTTP Port:
All cameras have the default HTTP port of 88. For example, if the LAN IP link of the
camera is http://192.168.8.102:88, this
means that the camera’s HTTP port is 88. You can change
port 88
to another port if you’d like such as 2000 or 8090, which will not be conflict with other existing
ports like 25, 21.Here you can set the port no. between 1 and 65535.
Media Port:
When you login to the camera, you can see the Media Port number on the login
screen. The default Media Port number is 888. Like HTTP Port, you can change this to anything
between 1 and 65535.
Note:
The HTTP Port and Media Port must be different;
you won’t be able to access the camera
otherwise.
How do we assign a different HTTP port and a static LAN IP address?
Step 1:
Open the IP Camera Tool, select the camera you would like to change the port of, right
click on the IP address, and click on ”Network Configuration”, this brings up the network
configuration box as shown in Figure 2.2 and 2.3.
