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:
http://www.portforward.com/
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.
Viewing
Your
Camera
To
access
the
Y
‐
cam
from
a
computer
on
your
local
network,
simply
enter
the
IP
Address
of
the
Camera
followed
by
a
colon
and
the
camera’s
port
number.
It
is
not
necessary
to
enter
the
colon
and
port
number
if
you
are
using
the
camera’s
default
port
80.
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.,
Http://202.115.122.96:8000
).

check
all
your
settings
by

on
“System”
in
the
top
right
section
of
the

your

address,
your
external
port
and
the
address
you
need
to
type
in
the
Internet
Browser’s
address
bar.
Note:
If
your
UPnP
gateway
is
not
configured,
you
