Don’t set proxy
Symptom:
I could access the camera perfectly in my LAN and view video. The problem is when I try to
access it behind a router; the first page comes up very slowly and allows me to enter
username and password; then nothing - no error - nothing appears. For information I've set
up at least 6 different makes of IP cameras in this way with these routers - so I know that the
NAT redirection works...
Solution:
In order to set up several different cameras, ports on the WAN IP need to be individually
mapped to the internal camera IP addresses. Assume there are 5 cameras and they are
mapped according to the table below. This example assumes that the home router is able to
map one port number to another IP address port number (e.g. having port 80 of all the
cameras mapped to different ports on the WAN). On some routers (e.g. some Linksys) this is
not possible. Then the user must configure the local cameras so that they use the same port
number as the external port number. This is found under
Plustek Network Camera Center |
Network Settings
in the camera configuration menu. Once changed, it is not possible to
access the cameras using the default HTTP port and the user will always be required to use
the new port number as in the table below:
WAN IP
Port Local IP
Local URL without cross port mapping
