Network Camera Installation

[bhelland1]

I have installed a Panasonic BL-C210 Network Camera and can view the picture on my home network. However, I cannot view over the internet using the Panasonic viewnetcam.com website. When I attempt to go to the URL, a Verizon admin page pops up. Do I need to change router settings?

What is the brand and model of your router?

[bhelland1]

My router is an Actiontec MI424-WR

Ok.

#1 In the router go to Advanced -> Universal Plug and Play OR to Advanced -> UPnP (which ever exist in the router)

#2 If you do not have at least two special computers that support UPnP where you can not define the ports that they use, turn off Universal Plug and Play (UPnP).

A perfect example. At least two game consoles. Any two (Two Xboxes, two Playstations, One Xbox and one Playstation).

#3 In the router go to Advanced -> IP Address Distribution OR to Advanced -> Private LAN (which ever exist in the router)

#4 If the Starting IP Address is 192.168.1.2 and the Ending IP Address is 192.168.1.254, change the Starting IP Address so that it is 192.168.1.99

#5 On the Panasonic BL-C210 setup a Static IP that is between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.99

#6 On the Panasonic BL-C210 set it to use another port other than port 80.

From the manaul/user's guide..

---

Under [Internet Connection], enter the port number to be assigned to the camera.

•

The default port number is 80, however, note that some ISPs do not allow access from the Internet using port 80.

•

Do not use the following port numbers:

–

20 and 21: used for FTP

–

23: used for Telnet

–

25: used for SMTP

–

53: used for DNS

–

110: used for POP3

–

443: used for HTTPS

–

4000: used for ICQ

–

6661–6667: used for IRC

•

If you are connecting multiple cameras and plan on using port forwarding to allow Internet access to the cameras, assign a different port number to each camera. We recommend using port numbers in the 50000–50050 range.

---

#7 In the router forward to the IP Address that you setup on the Panasonic BL-C210.

#8 If you don't know how to forward for your router, see the guides at http://portforward.com/
