For SharpZ3 cameras to communicate with Security Center, the correct communication ports must be defined.
IMPORTANT: Exposing the AutoVu™ system
to the internet is strongly discouraged without hardening your system first.
Before exposing your system, implement the advanced
security level described in the
Security Center Hardening Guide
to help protect your system from Internet-based threats.
NOTE:
- For a visual representation of the ports, see the Security Center Network Diagram - ALPR.
- For a full list of ports used by AutoVu, see Firewall ports used by AutoVu applications in Security Center.
