6.2.9 Port forwarding if UPNP is not available
If you are not using UPNP, or UPNP is disabled on your router, you will need to open a port on your router so that you
can access your Y-cam from the internet.
If you are unsure if UPNP is working on your camera, visit your Y-cam Settings System page. Under UPNP port
forwarding it will labelled as “Success”, “No UPnP Gateway” or “Disabled”.
Firewall security features built into some routers may prevent the camera’s UPNP from configuring your router. Your
router connects to the Internet over a series of “ports” and sometimes the default ports used by the Y-cam are blocked
from access over the Internet, therefore, these ports need to be made accessible.
This is achieved using the Port Forwarding function on your router. The ports used by the camera must be opened
through the router for remote access to your Y-cam. Check your router’s user manual for specific instructions on how to
open and route ports on you router or you can find instructions for how to do this for your specific router on the
following website:
