Appendix B Port forwarding information A router is a device that lets you share your internet connection between multiple computers. Most routers will not allow incoming traffic to the device unless you have configured them to forward the necessary ports to that device. By default our software and recorders require the following ports to be forwarded: Note: Port forwarding may reduce the security of the computers on your network.
Appendix B: Port forwarding information If you cannot find any information for your particular router, please contact your router manufacturer or internet service provider for further assistance.
Appendix C Maximum pre-recording times The maximum pre-recording time that can be selected depends on the bit rate. Frame rate, resolution and image quality do not impact time. Note: This information only applies when the bit rate is set to Constant (see “Initializing the recording settings” on page 58 for more information).
