Connecting to a Video Server via the Internet

You can NOT connect to a Video Server via the Internet unless the Video Server

Administrator has configured both the Video Server and the Internet

Gateway/Router used by the Video Server.

See Making Video available from the Internet in Chapter 4 - Advanced Viewing Setup for

details of the required configuration.

Also, you need a broadband Internet connection to view video effectively. Dial-up connections

are NOT supported.

To establish a connection from your PC to the Video Server via the Internet:

1. Obtain the following information from the Administrator of the video server you wish to

connect to:

• Internet IP Address or Domain Name of the video server.

• Port number for HTTP connections.

• Login (username, password) if required.

2. Start Internet Explorer.

3. In the Address box, enter the following:

HTTP://Internet_Address:port_number

Where Internet_Address is the Internet IP address or Domain Name of the video

server, and port_number is the port number used for HTTP (Web) connections to the

video server.

Examples using an IP address:

HTTP://203.70.212.52:1024

Where the Internet IP address is 203.70.212.52 and the HTTP port number is 1024.

Example using a Domain Name:

HTTP://mycamera.dyndns.tv:1024

Where the Domain name (using DDNS in this example) is mycamera.dyndns.tv and

the HTTP port number is 1024.
