What is PMS Port ?
A router with Network Address Translation (NAT) allows a local network to use private IP
addresses communicate out to the Internet. In other words, connections may be established outbound to
the Internet, but connections arriving from the Internet are not allowed.
By using port mapping however, services like an IP camera and NVR server running on your private
network may become accessible from the Internet.
So, Port Mapping is a feature that allows devices behind router to be accessed on Internet.
Click on PMS and get the GI page:
This feature is for user to view the camera on a webpage. There’s an embedded MS in the camera. User
is allowed to setup online.
Enable MS：enable the Media Server.
