Router and Internet connection setup
Since each router has a different connection method, check the settings for each router.
Port forwarding on the router setup
Set up the router’s port forwarding to connect to a PC or a recorder connected to the router's local LAN from
outside.
The recorder uses the <RTSP port>, <HTTP port>, <HTTPS port>, and camera proxy ports. You must set up
port forwarding for all the ports you use.
※ If only <HTTP port> is set for port forwarding, <RTSP port>, which is a video transmission port, is
connected, but no video is displayed.
※ If only <RTSP port> is set for port forwarding, no connection is available because <HTTP port>, which is a
web connection port, is connected.
※ Refer to the router's user manual.
