this URL is unavailable when accessing the unit from the PC connected to the same network (LAN).
Note
When the registration for the “Viewnetcam.com” service is completed, the URL registered for
“Personal(Unit) URL” is displayed. It may take up to about 30 minutes until the URL of the registered unit is
validated.
To cancel the enrollment in the “Viewnetcam.com” service, access the “Viewnetcam.com” website
(http://www.viewnetcam.com/) later.
When “Expired” is displayed in the URL of “Viewnetcam.com” in the viewnetcam settings page or the
status page, restart the unit after registering the “Viewnetcam.com” service. After restarting the unit, check
that the registered URL is displayed in the URL of “Viewnetcam.com” of [Status] - [Viewnetcam.com] on
the “Maintenance” page.
It is possible to check the information registered for the “Viewnetcam.com” service by accessing the URL
displayed beside
“Your Account Link”. When the URL is not displayed, check that the PC is being connected
to the Internet, and click the [Set] button.
If access often fails due to the change in the global address of router, set a smaller value for “Access
interval”.
If images are not correctly displayed, click [Set] for
“Recommended network setting for internet” on the
[Internet] tab of the “Basic” page.

forwarding”.
