Access from the internet
Once connected, the network camera is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access
the network camera from the Internet you must configure your broadband router to allow
incoming data traffic to the network camera. To do this, enable the NAT traversal feature,
which will attempt to automatically configure the router to allow access to the network cam-
era. This is enabled from Setup
>
System
>
Network
>
NAT. For more information, please
see
“3.5.7 System
>
Network
>
NAT” of User’s Manual.
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 user name and password is
“admin”. If the password is
lost, the network camera must be reset to the factory default settings. Please see
“Resetting
to the factory default
settings.”
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
“3.5.7 System
>
Security
>
HTTPS” of User’s Manual.
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.
