If a firewall is on the network, can WebCam Server be installed and work?
If there is a firewall on the network, 80th port is open for ordinary data communication. However, since WebCam Server transmits image data, the default 8080th port is required. Therefore it is necessary to open 8080th port of the network for remote users to access WebCam Server. However, it is usual to open only 80th port on the network with firewall because of network security. In this case, remote users can access WebCam Server with ‘Server Push Viewer’ that can be found at ‘Image Viewers’ -> ‘Other’ menu in the ‘Default Viewer’. Server Push Viewer enables WebCam Server to communicate through 80th port. In this case a user can receive images resolutions that are a bit unclear than the original. Another method is that user change a image transmission port from 8080th port to any port granted by the firewall. User may configure the setting at ‘User Custom Configuration’ page in WebCam Server Admin page.
