Accessing the Web User Interface Remotely

For the purposes of this guide, we will outline the most common method for setting up web

access. Port forwarding using the HTTP protocol and using Dynamic Domain Name Server

(DDNS) is the easiest way to setup stable remote access.

For this method, you should have direct access to your router as well as the ability to port

forward the device using the router's built-in interface. Below is a step-by-step walk through

those details how to setup the camera for remote web access using DDNS.

1. Log into the web UI and navigate to Setup>>Network>>Connection.

It is recommended to ensure the port number is at least 5 digits long to prevent any port conflicts.

You can change the port to any 5-digit number that is less than 65535 (e.g.12345) by clicking the

number field and entering a new port number. Write it down, then click Save.

2. The system will need to reboot for this change to take effect. Click OK.

3. Once the camera has come back online, log back into the web UI and navigate back to the

Connection menu to verify the HTTP port has been updated properly.
