3.2. Access from the internet
Once connected, the network camera is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the
network camera from the Internet you must configure your broadband router to allow incoming data
traffic to the network camera. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature, which will attempt to
automatically configure the router to allow access to the network camera. This is enabled from Setup
> System > Network > NAT.
For more information, refer to “3.5.5 System>Network>NAT” of User’s Manual.

To prevent network eavesdropping when setting the admin password, this can be done via an

To set the password via a standard HTTP connection, enter it directly in the first dialog shown below.
To set the password via an encrypted HTTPS connection, see “3.5.5 System >Security>HTTPS”.
Note: HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over SSL) is a protocol used to encrypt the traffic between
web browsers and servers. The HTTPS certificate controls the encrypted exchange of information.
