1.1 Introduction
The VS-100 is an inexpensive fully scalable surveillance technology. Because the Video
Servers can be plugged into your existing local area network infrastructure, you will
potentially save thousands of dollars on unnecessary cabling.
The device is accessible via the LAN or Internet connection. Connect your Video Server
directly to a local area network or xDSL modem, and with Microsfto® Internet Explorer you
get instant, on demand video streams. Within minutes you can set up the device to capture
a video sequence to a PC. The live video can be uploaded to a website for the world to see.

3.1 Router
Once installed, the device is accessible on your LAN. To access the device from the
Internet you must configure your broadband router to allow incoming data traffic to the
device. If the device is installed on the LAN with a router, then it may get a dynamic IP
address from the DHCP server. However, if the device wants to be accessed from the WAN,
its IP address needs to be setup as fixed IP, also the port forwarding or Virtual Server
function of router needs to be setup.
However, if your NAT router supports UPnP feature, it can be very easy to achieve NAT
traversal automatically. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature, which will attempt to
automatically configure the router to allow access to the camera.
Installing the device with an UPnP router on your network is an easy 3–step procedure:
1. Enable UPnP option of your NAT router
2. Enable UPnP NAT traversal option of the Network Camera (default)
3. Access your Network Camera by you public IP address
(1) Enable UPnP option of your NAT router
To use UPnP IGD function (NAT traversal), you need to make sure the UPnP function is
enabled in your router. Most new home routers should support this function. Some of
routers are default enable and others are not. Please check user’s manual of your NAT
router for detail.
(2) Enable UPnP NAT traversal option of the Network Camera
Refer to Setting Î Network Î UPnP page for detail NAT traversal setting. Note that this
option is default enabled.
(3) Access your Network Camera by DIPS
Refer to Setting Î System Î System page for detail DIPS information.
