Important:
Some ISPs block access to port 80. Be sure to check with your ISP
so that you can open the appropriate ports accordingly. Some ISPs block traffic
on commonly used ports to conserve bandwidth. If your ISP does not pass
traffic on port 80, you will need to change the port the camera uses from 80 to
something else, such as 800. Not all routers are the same, so refer to your
user manual for specific instructions on how to open ports.
