Set Up a Port Forward for an Axis 207MW
You might need to forward some ports in your router when you use an Axis 207MW. The purpose of forwarding ports is to make a direct connection from the internet to an Axis 207MW.
Routers generally do not allow incoming connection requests from the internet. Forwarding ports can work around this limitation.
Before Forwarding a Port
You need to know the following things before you can forward a port:
- Your router's internal IP address.
- Your camera's internal IP address.
- Each of the TCP and UDP ports that you need to forward.
