Before we can open ports for ActiveWebCam, we need to figure out what ports ActiveWebCam++ is using. Here is a brief walkthrough on how to do that. Go ahead and open up ActiveWebCam and get into the camera you want to modifies settings.
At the top of the camera's properties page click the Broadcasting link.
There are two things on this page that require opening a port. If you have Remote Access enabled, you need to open the port in the remote accesses section's Port box. You can change the port that is in that box if you like. Please enter the port for Remote Access into the box below. If you are not using Remote Access just leave this box blank.
Click the Firewall link near the left hand side of the page.
Click the Expert link near the top of the page.
We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to setup Zone Alarm's firewall for Active Webcam. Go ahead and enter the settings shown below into the Add Rule menu.
You should see another page of settings below that need to be added to Zone Alarm. Open up a new Add Protocol page and enter those settings.
When you are finished, click the Apply button at the bottom of your screen. And that is it! You are done!
