If neither video plays back for you, your computer, programs, internet speed, router, or firewall may not be configured correctly. Your router and computer firewall must have the ports open for QuickTime streaming. If you are in a location where these ports are blocked you will not be able to see or hear the video.

QuickTime streams are typically transported via the RTP/RTSP protocol, but many firewalls (including the Windows XP Service Pack 2 firewall) may block these protocols.

Firewalls

Right now ACAM video servers are set to transport over port 80 (web) to help with firewall issues, but this may not always be the case.

To open your firewall to the RTP/RTSP protocols, you need to do the following:
Open port 554 for RTSP/TCP data
Open ports 6970 through 6999 (inclusive) for RTP/UDP data.
