3.2 Access from the internet
Access from the internet once connected, the network camera 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 Traversal.
For more information, please see NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4, on “3.5.5 System > 4)
Network >

3.3 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.
Please s
ee “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, please see Setup > System >
Security > HTTPS, on “3.5.5 System > 2) Security >
②
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.
