5.0 Test IP Camera
Now click on Preview to test your camera on the
network. This should open your Internet
Explorer Web Browser and allow you to see
your live IP camera.
This is what you should see. If you have video
your IP camera is properly configured.
6.0 Configure your Router
The last step in the process is to open up the
HTTP port in your router to allow you to view
your camera remotely. Click the Router button.
The system will attempt to access your router
and allow you to program the opening of the
ports. If your router page does not open you may
need to access your router directly. Please refer
to your routers manual for guidance.
For this example I will be using a Linksys router
to open my ports.
In a Linksys router you want to choose the
Applications and Gaming Tab followed by the
Port Range Forwarding Tab.
The router will then ask you for the Application
name. Enter any name you like. Next, you enter
the Port Range. In this case our HTTP port is 80
so you enter 80 for both the Start and End. For
TCP/UDP select both followed by the IP
address of your MAX-IP280 camera.
(192.168.1.139) Next check the box labled
Enabled and press the Save Settings button.
Your MAX-IP280 now has its ports forwarded
and is accessible remotely via your WAN IP.
If you do not know how to forward your ports or
are using a different router you may find
instructions at the portforward.com website.
This website has many guides and manuals on
how to open ports on various router models.
You may now proceed to use your SuperCam IP
software to view multiple MAX-IP280 cameras
using the IP information for each of your
cameras.
