We have been able to access the camera within the LAN network, but how to access the camera via

WAN or via internet? We have to do Remote Access Settings before we want to access the

camera outside the LAN network.

What is the HTTP Port no. and How to change it ?

1) Default HTTP No.: 80

All the cameras’ default http no. is 80. For example, if the LAN IP link of the camera is

http://192.168.1.35, it says that the camera’s http port no. is 80, if the LAN IP link of the camera is

http://192.168.1.35:88, it says that the camera’s http port no. is 88. Port 80 could be blocked when

accessing via internet, we need to change port 80 to another one like 88, or 85 as you like, which will

not be conflict with other existing ports like 25, 21.

2) Change the default http no.80 to another one like 88, or 85 etc.

How to assign a different HTTP Port No. and fixed the LAN IP of the camera by the IP Camera

Tool？

Firstly Open the IP Camera Tool, select the camera you want to change the port no, right click on

the IP address link, and goes to Option ”Network Configuration”, it pops up another dialogue showed

as Fig2.0, Fig2.1.
