Accessing the Axis Video Server from the Internet
Once installed, your Axis Video Server is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the
video server from the Internet, network routers must be configured to allow incoming traffic,
which is usually done on a specific port. Please refer to the documentation for your router for
further instructions.
