Why the iFovea Gateway Exists
Many camera deployments – retail stores, small offices, remote sites – have limited IT support on-site. Configuring port forwarding and firewall rules for camera-to-cloud connectivity requires technical knowledge and creates ongoing security exposure. The iFovea Gateway eliminates both problems: cameras connect through the Gateway over HTTPS port 443 (the same port as any website), which is open on virtually every network by default.
Gateway Features
- Connects up to 50 IP cameras per Gateway
- Pure HTTPS connection – no open ports, no port forwarding, no firewall rule changes
- Works on any standard business internet connection
- Plug-and-play setup – no IT expertise required for installation
- Supports Axis, Hikvision, Uniview, Vivotek, Milesight, TVT, Tiandy, and 2M Technology cameras
- Remote management – Gateway status and camera connections managed from the iFovea cloud dashboard
- Low power consumption – designed for always-on operation

Gateway vs. Push Installer (Software)
| Method | iFovea Gateway | Push Installer (Software) |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware required | Yes – iFovea Gateway device | No – runs on any Windows/Mac PC |
| IT knowledge needed | None – plug and play | Minimal – software installation |
| Cameras per unit | Up to 50 | Unlimited (limited by PC performance) |
| Best for | Remote sites, retail stores, no-IT deployments | Office environments with always-on PCs |
| Network exposure | Zero open ports | Zero open ports |
When to Use the iFovea Gateway
- Remote sites without on-site IT staff
- Retail store deployments where camera configuration must be fast and non-technical
- Locations where no always-on PC is available to run the Push Installer software
- Integrators managing many small deployments who need a standardized, simple installation method
