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.
For more information, please see “3.5.6 System>Network>NAT” of User’s Manual.
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. See
“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, see “3.5.6 System >Security>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.
