Configuring your Internet firewall
In this chapter, you will learn how to lower certain defenses in order to authorize access to your computers or your IP or WiFi camera for specific Internet services (P2P, web/FTP servers, viewing of the camera via the
Internet …), or shore up other defenses to limit access on a specific computer to certain remote services or the Internet. Finally, you will also be able to redirect all Internet requests to a computer whose address you will specify.
5.2.1.
Opening doors in your firewall to put your camera online or authorize access to a computer for certain Internet services
If you would like to put a camera online, or if you want your computers to be able to either provide specific
Internet services (P2P, web/FTP servers…), or access specific services, you will have to open up minidrawbridges (referred to as ports) in your firewall using port forwarding.
To put your IP or WiFi camera online:
- On the Home page, select Your
Internet firewall parameters.
- Click the Port Forwarding button.
- In the Webcam or IP camera zone, click the Add a camera button.
- Enter the camera’s name in the
Location or number field, then select its IP address out of the devices already connected (you can also enter it manually after selecting
“Other” in the list).
- Select the protocol (TCP or UDP) and enter the communication port.
To find out your camera’s IP address, protocol and communication port, please refer to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
