You probably don't need to port forward if this is a home router
(though you haven't said why you're "not allowed to" - sounds a bit
dubious to me)

Set up the router to put your PC in the DMZ (demiltarised zone - check
router manual for steps and terminology). Just make sure you have a
good firewall setup first, and allow port 80 connections to your
encoder.
