Camera Provisioning – Port forwarding method (non-UPnP)
If Universal Plug and Play is disabled or not an option on the connected router, then port forwarding will
need to be setup on the router to allow the camera to connect outside of the local network.
1) Forward the camera’s port in the router. The default port for the camera is 8080. The port number
will be the same for all fields requiring a port. Choose one of the following methods.
Please note: If multiple cameras will be installed on this network, or if the default port interferes
with another device’s port, proceed to method “C” to change the internal port setting on the camera
and then follow method “A” or “B”. Otherwise follow only method “A” or “B”.
A. Port forwarding and maintaining internet connection via Ethernet.
1. Sign into the router’s web setup page.
2. Instructions on how to setup port forwarding for the specific make/model of the
connected router can be found here:

3. Proceed to the “Advanced Camera Setup” section.
B. Port forwarding and transferring to Wi-Fi connection.
1. Sign into the camera’s web setup page. The sign in page can be access by entering
the camera’s internal/private IP address followed by a colon and then the port
number. For example 192.168.1.25:8080
2. Select the appropriate browser mode.
i. “Active X Mode” is for Internet Explorer only and requires a certain level of
permissions (for advanced users).
ii. “Server Push Mode” is for alternative browsers such as Firefox, Safari, and
Google Chrome (recommended for most users).
3. Navigate to “Network” and select “Wireless LAN Settings”.
4. Click on the “Scan” button (may have to be run twice before all networks are
displayed).
5. Select the desired network from the “Wireless Network List”. The network SSID,
Network Type, and Encryption are auto-populated once a network is selected and
should not be changed.
6. Enter in the wireless network password in the “Share Key” field and then click
“Submit”.
7. After the camera resets, remove the Ethernet cable and then power cycle the
camera by unplugging the power cable and reinserting.
8. Sign into the router’s web setup page.
