The HTTP port option under Port Detail Settings is used when multiple

image viewing. For each additional camera that is installed, you must
assign the appropriate Web server port for each camera to enable remote
viewing.
By default, port 80 (Web server port) is open. If these ports are available
for use, you DO NOT have to open a second port and can proceed to

If port 80 is not available (for example, if you are already using port 80
to run a Web server or your ISP blocks access on port 80), you MUST
open a second port and designate a new Web server port (800, 801,
802, etc.). Similarly, if port 554 is not available, you will need to open a
