3.2.4 UPnP setting
UPnP means Universal Plug and Play, if you enable UPnP, once the IP camera is
connected into the LAN, it will communicate with the router on the LAN and do
port-forwarding through the open port of the router automatically. To enable simply click
“Using UPnP to Map Port” to finish the setting. You can check if the UPnP is successful
in Maintain – Device Info.
Figure 12 UPnP settings
Before using the UPnP function, please make sure the router’s UPnP function has been
enabled. Not all the routers support UPnP. Please test to see if the router works well with
the camera, if not, we suggest you to disable this function and do the port-forwarding
manually.
3.2.5 DDNS Setting
If UPnP or port forwarding is successful, and you can visit the camera via the WAN IP
address you also can visit it via DDNS.
