4.1.3 Network Configuration

Double Check to ensure that your HTTP server software is configured and run properly. If

you’re running any firewall software, make sure it’s allowing inbound connections to port

80, also, if you happen to be using a cable/DSL router, make sure you’ve set up port

forwarding properly. (Consult your router’s documentation for more information). If none of

these seem to be the problem, it’s documentation for more information). If none of these

seem to be the problem, it’s also possible that your ISP is blocking inbound connections

to port 80-many IPSS have done this because of internet worms such as Code Red, If this

is the case, you’ll have to setup your HTTP server on an alternate port (such as 8080).

4.1.5 Problems with network bandwidth

The image frame rate is subjected to the following factors: 1, network bandwidth; 2, PC

performance, network environment and display preference setting (brightness, theme,

etc); 3, the number of visitors (Too many visitors will slow down the image frame rate.): 4,

choice of switch or hub (Use a switch for multiple IP Camera Servers rather than a HUB,).
