SwannEye IP Camera
10.4. Port mapping
In addition to an IP address, you need to assign a port to your camera through
which outside communications can access the camera. The port assigned to the
camera is done through “8.4.6. Network: Network Settings” on page 29. Once
assigned you need to map (or ‘forward’) the port in your network router to the IP
address.
You can do port mapping two ways. The easy way and the other way.
10.4.1. Automatically forwarding ports using UPnP
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play): UPnP is a technology which makes configuring
your network easier and faster. To use the UPnP setting on the DVR, you’ll need
a router which supports the feature, with UPnP enabled. Note that many routers
which do support UPnP do not come with the feature enabled by default.
To easiest way to forward ports therefore is to simply activate UPnP on your router
AND your IP camera. The two will then negotiate and open the necessary ports
when needed and close them again when finished. Most modern routers have
UPnP.
10.4.2. Manually forwarding ports
This method involves manually forwarding the port in your router to the IP
address and can be a technically challenging process.
•
To manually forward the port for the camera, log in to your router and add the
IP camera’s port to the Virtual Map list. Refer to your router manual for details
specific to your equipment on how to do this, or see below.
Online Guides for Your Router
The specific instructions for forwarding ports vary dramatically from
router to router. There’s simply not enough room in this manual to walk
through the process for every brand and type of router available.
Fortunately, there’s a fantastic online resource that has walkthroughs for
just about every kind of router you can imagine. Simply visit:
www.portforward.com
and look up your router by brand and serial number. There you’ll find
detailed walkthroughs which can guide you through the process.
If possible, we suggest using UPnP. It is much easier.
