Viewing
your
camera
externally
Now
you
have
setup
your
DDNS
account
and
enabled
UPNP,
you
should
be
able
to
view
your
camera
externally.
The
external
address
of
your
camera
is
made
up
of
two
parts
–
your
DDNS
account
address
and
the
port
you
opened
via
UPnP.
For
example:
DDNS
Host
name
account
:
UPnP
External
Port
Range
:
8150
–
8350
If
you
have
just
one
Y
‐
cam
attached
to
your
network,
your
Y
‐
cam
should
default
to
the
first
port
in
that
range.
So
with
the
above
information,
your
IP
camera
would
be
using
port
8150,
and
would
have
the
address
of:
http://yourname.dtdns.com:8150
Open
any
internet
browser
on
your
computer,
and
type
your
own
DDNS
account
name
,
followed
by
:8150
(that’s
a
colon,
followed
by
8150).
After
a
few
moments,
your
Camera
Homepage
should
be
displayed.
You
can
then
login
to
view
your
camera
or
change
your
settings
as
normal.
To
confirm
your
own
external
camera
address,
stay
within
the
Settings
menu,
and
click
on
“System”
at
the
top
right
of
the
screen.
This
will
list
various
settings
of
your
camera.
Under
UPNP
Port
Forwarding,
it
should
list
your
cameras
hostname
and
port.
Note:
If
you
have
only
just
registered
your
DDNS
account
and/or
Host
Name,
it
may
take
a
while
until
you
account
is
activated
and
registered
on
the
internet.
Note:
Some
ISPs
disable
the
ability
to
view
your
camera
via
an
external
address
from
the
same
network
as
your
camera.
If
this
is
the
case,
try
to
connect
to
your
camera
via
your
DDNS
address
from
a
mobile
phone,
or
from
another
internet
connection.
Viewing
your
camera
externally
without
using
a
DDNS
service
This
is
possible
if
your
broadband
connection
uses
a
static
IP
address
to
deliver
the
internet
to
your
house.
