How to get around the firewall problem when connecting RTSP based network ip camera/Digital Video Servers?
When connecting to video via RTSP from a remote location, you experience problems with the firewall at your location. Some cameras from manufacturers such as Axis, AVTech and some ACTi cameras, etc, support RTP over TCP or HTTP, you can use this feature to get around the firewall problem. Otherwise, you need to designate client RTP/RTCP ports in EyeSoft. Typically 4 ports are needed, 2 for video and 2 for audio. The starting port must be even number. If there is also router/firewall in front of EyeSoft (note: NOT the one in front of your camera), you need to open the client ports in the router too. For example, if you select 666 as the starting port, then in the router you need to open 666, 667, 668, 669 for the computer running EyeSoft Even if you use RTP over TCP/HTTP or client RTP/RTCP ports, please check settings in the camera to setup the gateway address pointing to the router (the one in front of the camera). Also in the router you need to open the RTSP port for the camera. (Comm
