GeoVision Support

   5.1  Some cable and DSL service providers block out port 80 on end-users. The reason is, they charge a low monthly rate for end-users that do not host web pages (traffic volume is less for them), and charge higher rates for ISP web hosting (higher traffic). To make sure end-users will not host web sites, they block port 80.

If you want to start up the web cam server with GeoVision, 80 would be the default port. The first step is to contact your DSL or cable modem supplier to see if they would open up port 80 for you. If they do not allow that, go to GeoVision WebCam server and assign a different port that is NOT blocked: e.g. port 81.

When you call from remote, key in the address of your server and append with :81 For example, if your external address is 123.456.789.001, you type onto the web browser as 123.456.789.001:81 . In this way, you can get around to the blocked port 80 problem.
