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>, <HTTP>, <HTTPS port>, and camera proxy ports. You must set up port
forwarding for all the ports you use.
※ If only <HTTP> is set for port forwarding, <RTSP>, which is a video transmission port, is connected, but no
video is displayed.
※ If only <RTSP> is set for port forwarding, no connection is available because <HTTP>, which is a web
connection port, is connected.
※ Refer to the router's user manual.
