Important Safeguards

In addition to the careful attention devoted to quality standards in the manufacturing process of
your video product, safety is a major factor in the design of every instrument. However, safety is
your responsibility too. This sheet lists important information that will help to assure your
enjoyment and proper use of the video product and accessory equipment. Please read them
carefully before operating and using your video product.

Installation

1. Read and Follow Instructions - All the safety and
operating instructions should be read before the
video product is operated. Follow all operating
instructions.

2. Retain Instructions - The safety and operating
instructions should be retained for future reference.

3. Heed Warnings - Comply with all warnings on the
video product and in the operating instructions.

4. Polarization - Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized or
grounding-type plug.

A polarized plug has two blades
with one wider than the other.

A grounding type plug has two
blades and a third grounding prong.

The wide blade or the third prong
are provided for your safety.

If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet,
consult an electrician for replacement of the
obsolete outlet.

5. Power Sources - This video product should be
operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of
the type of power supply to your location, consult
your video dealer or local power company. For video
products intended to operate from battery power, or
other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

6. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets of
extension cords as this can result in the risk of fire
or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension
cords, frayed power cords, damaged or cracked wire
insulation, and broken plugs are dangerous. They
may result in a shock or fire hazard. Periodically
examine the cord, and if its appearance indicates
damage or deteriorated insulation, have it replaced
by your service technician.

7. Power Cord Protection - Power supply cords should
be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on
or pinched by items placed upon or against them,
paying particular attention to cords at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they
exit from the video product.

8. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the case are
provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation
of the video product and to protect it from
overheating. These openings must not be blocked or
covered. The openings should never be blocked by
placing the video equipment on a bed, sofa, rug, or
other similar surface. This video product should
never be placed near or over a radiator or heat
register. This video product should not be placed in a
built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack
unless proper ventilation is provided or the video
product manufacturer’s instructions have been
followed.

9. Attachments - Do not use attachments unless
recommended by the video product manufacturer as
they may cause a hazard.

10. Camera Extension Cables – Check the rating of
your extension cable(s) to verify compliance with
your local authority regulations prior to installation.

11. Water and Moisture - Do not use this video product
near water. For example, near a bath tub, wash
bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet
basement, near a swimming pool and the like.

Caution

operated equipment or accessories connected to
this unit should bear the UL listing mark of CSA
certification mark on the accessory itself and should
not be modified so as to defeat the safety features.
This will help avoid any potential hazard from
electrical shock or fire. If in doubt, contact qualified
service personnel.

12. Accessories - Do not place this
video equipment on an unstable
cart, stand, tripod, or table. The
video equipment may fall, causing
serious damage to the video
product. Use this video product
only with a cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table recommended by the
manufacturer or sold with the video product. Any

combination should be moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may
cause the video product and car combination to
overturn.

21. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects for
any kind into this video product through openings as
they may touch dangerous voltage points or
“short-out” parts that could result in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the
video product.

22. Lightning - For added protection for this video
product during a lightning storm, or when it is left
unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage
to the video product due to lightning and power line
surges.

required, have the service technician verify that the
replacements used have the same safety
characteristics as the original parts. Use of
replacements specified by the video product
manufacturer can prevent fire, electric shock or
other hazards.

Appendix B: Adding Cameras

Figure 29.2 Change the Web port and streaming video port on your additional
camera(s).

ATTENTION: You must port forward the new Web ports and streaming video port for each

additional camera in your router. In this example, we would need to port forward ports 81
and 553. For tips on port forwarding, see “Appendix D: Router Port Forwarding” on page 82.

For complete information on forwarding ports on your router, please refer to your router’s
instruction manual or visit your router manufacturer’s website.

4. Under Network Configuration, enter a new Web port for the additional camera. By default, the
Web port is 80. The new Web port must be different from that of the original camera. For
example, change the Web port of the additional camera to 81.

5. Enter a new RTSP port for live video streaming. By

default, the streaming video port is 554.
The new streaming port must be different from that of the original camera. For example,
change the port to 553.

6. Click Submit Network t

o save your settings.

7. Continue configuring your camera as desired.

Port Ranges

You can set a range of ports in Network Configuration. This sets one port forwarding rule in your
router instead of four. For example:

Port Name Port Change To:

IP Port (Web) 80 8000

IP Port (RTSP) 554 8001

mjpeg Port 8070 8002

3gp port 8554 8009

ATTENTION: The Mjpeg and 3gp

ports cannot be set in sequence (i.e.
8002 & 8003) – you must leave a few
numbers between these ports to
prevent conflicting. Also, if you will
not be using an iPhone or iPod
touch to connect, you will not need
to forward the 3gp port.
