The camera supports UPnP™ (Universal Plug and Play) features, which allow you to do the following:
–
Configure your router’s port forwarding feature. (A UPnP™ compatible router is required.) This is useful if you want to access your camera from the Internet or using a mobile phone. See Section 4 Configuring the Camera for Access from the Internet for more information.
–
Create a shortcut to the camera in your computer’s [My Network Places] folder that will be automatically updated even if the camera’s IP address changes. (Windows 2000 does not support this feature.)
