2.5 Install the IP Camera behind NAT router

Once installed, the device is accessible on your LAN. To access the device
from the Internet you must configure your broadband router to allow incoming
data traffic to the device. If the device is installed on the LAN with a router,
then it may get a dynamic IP address from the DHCP server. However, if the
device wants to be accessed from the WAN, its IP address needs to be setup
as fixed IP, also the port forwarding or Virtual Server function of router needs
to be setup.

However, if your NAT router supports UPnP feature, it can be very easy to
achieve NAT traversal automatically. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal
feature, which will attempt to automatically configure the router to allow access
to the camera.

Installing the device with an UPnP router on your network is an easy 3–step
procedure:

(1) Enable UPnP option of your NAT router
(2) Enable UPnP NAT traversal option of the Network Camera (default)
(3) Access your Network Camera by DIPS
