for the camera so that whenever a camera is presented to the LAN, shortcuts
of connected cameras will be listed in My Network Places. You can click the

XP or later. Note that to utilize this feature, please make sure the UPnP

How does UPnP work?
UPnP networking technology provides automatic IP configuration and dynamic
discovery of devices added to a network. Services and capabilities offered by
networked devices, such as printing and file sharing, are available among each
other without bothersome network configuration. In the case of Network Cameras,
you will see Network Camera shortcuts at My Network Places.
