Remote Access 

This tab lets you enable remote access using Netcam Watcher Remote Control 

software. You can set the following fields: 

Allow Remote Client Access : check this to enable Netcam Watcher to 

act as a server for Netcam Watcher Remote Control. If you check this 

you will need to restart the program. Also you may need to give Netcam 

Watcher permission with your firewall to act as a server. 

Remote Access Port : This is the port that Netcam Watcher will listen on. 

This needs to be the same as the port configured on Netcam Watcher 

Remote Control. If you are using a router and are using NAT you will 

need to  pass through  this port. 

System Name. Give a descriptive name for the system. 

Description : (Optional) A description of the system. 

Remote Access Password: This is the password that needs to be set in 

Netcam Watcher Remote Control to access this system. 

Once you have configured remote access you can connect to this system using 

Netcam Watcher Remote Control. If you want to access the system from across 

the Internet you need to make sure that your router is configured to make this IP 

address and port visible.  

Importing and Exporting Cameras 

You can save your current camera definitions (i.e., the current cameras that you 

have configured) by using Tools > Export Camera Definitions. This creates a 

coded file with the default name webcams.def  

You can also load cameras from a .def file, using Tools > Import Camera 

Definitions. In this case any cameras in the def file that you open are added to 

the current set of cameras.
