First of all, to get the needed information about the camera you have to run
the application and go to "Security systems". Within this menu, select the
"Configure" tab. Enter the security password (default 0000) if the app
requested.
Choose the "Edit installed sensors" option and then the camera you want to
configure.
At the bottom you can see four buttons, press the information
button. There are 2 useful values in the dialog box: IP and port.
Record these values in order to use them later.
To do the port-forwarding you will need a device with an Internet browser
connected to the router by Wi-Fi or better wired directly to it.
Open the Internet browser (Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari,...) and type in
the address bar the local IP of the router (usually http://192.168.1.1 or
http://192.168.2.1). In some routers the local IP is printed on the bottom.
If not sure about the IP address of your router, or if you can’t access to the
configuration menu, please see your router manual.
The configuration menu of your router could prompt you for a username and
password. See the router manual about that.
Locate the port-forwarding menu. This menu is often named as: PORT
FORWARDING, or FORWARDING, or VIRTUAL SERVERS, or NAT, or
Applications and Games, or Gaming ... depending on your routers model
and brand.
Once you have found it, set the following parameters:
• Name.- Only for identification purposes. You can use the same name you
had chosen for the camera.
• Ports.- In some cases there are two fields in order to select the start and
the end port of a range of ports, or just one field to enter the port to be
forwarded. In both cases, fill the fields with the value of the port you
obtained previously from the info menu of the camera.
• Protocol.- Usually you can choose between "TCP", "UDP" or "Both". Check
"Both".
