What is the reason for not using PORT 80?

I ve been looking to purchase another camera to use along with my AirSight PTZ Pro.

I have been going thru the manual for the other outdoor cameras and it states to DO NOT USE PORT 80.

port 80 is a "goto" number my chat software defaults to port 80.

On a Web server or Hypertext Transfer Protocol daemon, port 80 is the port that the server "listens to" or expects to receive from a Web client, assuming that the default was taken when the server was configured or set up. A port can be specified in the range from 0-65536 on the NCSA server. However, the server administrator configures the server so that only one port number can be recognized. By default, the port number for a Web server is 80. Experimental services may sometimes be run at port 8080.

There is some good networking info on this site. It's given me some valuable knowledge for working with and setting up IP cameras.
