To avoid any possible problems, temporarily disable any

firewall or antivirus software, and set up the camera again.

If you cannot disable your firewall or antivirus software, you

can set up the camera using the MAC address (see page

125 of the Operating Instructions on the CD-ROM).

•The camera is connected over a different network.

Set up the camera from a PC connected to the same router

as the camera.

the camera status

by the Setup

Program.

•An error on the Setup Program caused the error message.

camera IP address same as the class of the PC IP address

(see page 120 of the Operating Instructions on the CD-

ROM).

•The web browser is accessing a proxy server.

Set the web browser not to access the proxy server (see

page 128 of the Operating Instructions on the CD-ROM).

•The camera was accessed on the same LAN by entering the

registered URL (or the router's global IP address) when using a

DynamicDNS service.

To access a camera on the same LAN, use the address for

its local network address.

The camera can

be accessed on

the LAN, but the

camera cannot

be accessed

from the

Internet.

•The default gateway address may be wrong.

Set the correct default gateway address (see page 31 of the

Operating Instructions on the CD-ROM).

•UPnPTM is disabled on the router.

Enable UPnPTM on the router following the router manual.

•Port forwarding is not enabled on the router (see page 41 of the

Operating Instructions on the CD-ROM).

Enable port forwarding following the router manual.

•Firewalls such as packet filtering on the router are blocking

camera access.

Set the router to allow access to the camera following the

router manual.

•You are accessing the camera using a local IP address.

Access the camera with the global IP address of the router
