How do I securely access the IPIX Network camera over the Internet?
The camera, as shipped, does not have the security required to directly place it onto the Internet and therefore should be placed behind a firewall. Port 8080 is configured on the camera as a web-server that does not allow administrative privileges. Make this port available externally from the network to allow access to the camera over the Internet. An example of the HTTP connection would be http://camera_ip_address:8080. You can gain administrative access to the camera using a secure shell. Make SSH port 22 on the camera externally accessible from the network. It is recommended that the network administrator should add/change their own password and/or the camera administrative password to protect the camera on the Internet. To access the camera externally, a computer on the camera’s network should run SSHD. SSHD will listen for incoming SSH requests and facilitate an SSH connection.
