Security

When the 802.11g PTZ Internet Camera is used for the first time, it is highly recommended

that the Administrator set the

Administrator Password

to constrain user access to the

802.11g PTZ Internet Camera since the Default settings are Null String (no password).

Once the Password is defined, only the Administrator has access to the management of

the

802.11g PTZ Internet Camera. This procedure should be done as soon as possible

since the security features of the 802.11g PTZ Internet Camera will not be enabled until

the

Administrator Password

is defined.

To ensure the highest security and prevent unauthorized use of the 802.11g PTZ Internet

Camera, the

Administrator

has the exclusive privilege to access the

System Administration

settings to allow users entry and authorize privileges for all users. The 802.11g PTZ Internet

Camera supports multi-level password protection/access to the 802.11g PTZ Internet Camera

that can be restricted to defined users who have a

User Name

and

User Password,

which is

assigned by the Administrator.

The Administrator can release a public user name and password so that when remote users

access the 802.11g PTZ Internet Camera they will have the right to view the image transmitted

by the 802.11g PTZ Internet Camera.

At this point it is highly recommended that you click on the

Configuration

button on the Home

screen, and then the

Tools

tab to bring you to the

Admin

screen. Enter a

password

for security

purposes.

Access Your Router on Your Web Browser

If you have cable or DSL service, you will most likely have a dynamically assigned WAN IP

Address. ‘Dynamic’ means that your router’s WAN IP address can change from time to time

depending on your ISP.

A dynamic WAN IP Address identifies your router on the public network

and allows it to access the Internet. To find out what your router’s WAN IP Address is, go to

the

Status

screen on your router and locate the WAN information for your router.

As shown on

the next page the WAN IP Address will be listed. This will be the address that you will need to

type in your web browser to view your camera over the Internet. Be sure to uncheck the

Reset

IP address at next boot

button at the top of the screen after modifying the IP address. Failure to

do so will reset the IP address when you restart your computer.

These are the port settings for your

camera. If necessary, these ports can

be changed if they are already in use

by other devices (e.g. in a multiple

camera environment).
