7.1 Port Forwarding
Firewall security features built into some routers may prevent users from accessing the Y‐cam over the Internet.
Your router connects to the Internet over a series of “ports”.
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.
You can also find instructions for how to do this on your specific router on the following website:
Important: Some ISPs block access to port 80 and other commonly used Internet ports. Check with your ISP in order to
open the appropriate ports. If your ISP does not pass traffic on port 80, you will need to change the camera’s default
port number from 80 to a different number such as 8000.

colon and the camera’s port number. It is not necessary to enter the colon and port number if you are using the

To access the Y‐cam from the internet, type the external IP Address of the router, followed by a colon, and the port
number of your camera (e.g.,

the Internet Browser’s address bar.
