IP Device Internet Connection
How to be sure you device are accessible on the Internet / Wan
The factory defaults on the IP device(s) are set to 192.168.0.120
Devices uses three ports which default values are as follows:
80 Standard WWW port.
30001 Video / Communication and data. For NVMS software
554 RTSP. Streaming Video for Onvif or standard streaming to quicktime / VLC player etc.
Always the rst check before and installation / conguration is that you can successfully ping the
device in question, and that you don’t just connect many new devices as they will conict on the
default IP. The exception to this rule is that when setup via the NVMS you can congure multiple
Devices from factory defaults, and then set each to the required settings.
If you are unsure about the elements involved in the IP - IP testing and connection, it’s strongly
advised to seek help from an IP professional, or from the assistance of your IT department.
For our example we using the two cameras from the one IP. Which could work on the Internet also.
http://cctv1.someddns.com:8080 (note: this is a made up name just for references purposes)
(Please set to our own DDNS or DNS or Fixed IP values as required.)
The following are the simple steps that need to be veried for successful installation is done:
1. Set each IP device for internal LAN use. Verify this is all working. via NVMS or I.E.
2. Set Route Mapping and Device Port for each device as required.
3. Set your router to be sure external IP request to these ports selected are correctly
forwarded to the right IP device. Commonly called Port Forwarding.

supplied with your product.
Below shows the simple example of installation for IP camera.

Camera settings.
Example setting for camera for http://cctv1.someddns.com:8080.
Shown here is two important elements.
1st The Enable Router Mapping.
2nd The IP address for internet. (IP or DNS name accepted)
3rd The ports used for the Video / Audio streaming. default 30001
The most common thing missing is these ports as you would still be
able to connect to the camera via the browser but will see No Video.
On the Lan Settings, the IP is an
internal IP inside the Router, you
may connect to a DHCP router but
it’s best not to use this but use a
xed IP due in case the internal IP is
changed just to the router resetting
to another IP. So your Port rules will
fail to connect to the right device.
The control Port(s) are important
here you see the Http Port set to
8080, and we keep 30001 & 544 to
standard values.
Your router must have the rules to forward the port request
8080 as well as the ports 30001 & 554 to the internal IP
address 192.168.9.243 for our example. You need set to the
IP what you have used on your network.
