your PC is UPnP enabled, the Network Camera will be very easy to be found.

2.3 Install the Device behind a 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.
