The following table identifies ports and protocols used by AXIS Camera Station that you may need to enable on your firewall for optimum performance and usability.
Not all ports need to be opened always. For example, if you are not using multiple servers on your network, you do not need to enable Server Discovery. If you are not using the AXIS Camera Station mobile app, you do not need to open the ports for the mobile app.
Only open the ports you require.
