UPnP
This camera support UPnP (Universal Plug and Play). By using the UPnP function, it becomes possible to
configure the following automatically.
Configuration of the port forwarding function of the router (However, a router supporting UPnP is required.)
This configuration is useful when accessing the camera via the Internet, or from a cellular phone/mobile
terminal.
Automatic refreshment of the shortcut to the camera that is created on the [My Network Places] folder
([Network] folder when using Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8) of the PC even when the IP address
of the camera changes.
[Auto port forwarding]
Select “On” or “Off” to determine whether or not to use the port forwarding function of the router.
To use the port forwarding function, the router in use must support UPnP and the UPnP must be enabled.

Note
Due to port forwarding, the port number may sometimes be changed. When the number is changed,
it is necessary to change the port numbers registered in the PC and recorders, etc.
The UPnP function is available when the camera is connected to the IPv4 network. IPv6 is not
supported.
To check if auto port forwarding is properly configured, click the [Status] tab on the “Maintenance” page,
and check that the “Enable” is displayed for “Status” of “UPnP”. (®page 201)
When “Enable” is not displayed, refer to “Cannot access the camera via the Internet.” in the
