Port Forwarding & UPnP
UPnP(Universal Plug and Play) is a kind of network protocol to help users to find and configure
network products in same local network area. Port forwarding is to assign a certain network
port to a network product Proper so as users can access it from outside of Local Area Network.
Generally, port forwarding can be configured from network router.
UPnP port forwarding is made up with finding available network port, assigning it to a Network
Camera and reporting overall network configuration of a Network Camera to IP-CCTV DNS
server. Users have to register products to IPCCTVDNS server and IP-CCTV DNS service should
be enabled.
There are 3 options in UPNP Port Forwarding.
• Manual: User Assigned Port is used when users can access network router(hub) and
manually assign available network port to IP products. In this case, users have to type
already-assigned network port under User Assigned port
• UPnP: User Assigned Port is used when users want Network Cameras to configure port
forwarding menu of network hub with user-assigned network port. If it fails, try to change
user-assigned port
• UPnP: Auto Selected Port is used to let Network Cameras deal with all network
configuration automatically..
Please notice that network router should support UPnP Port Forwarding and there is a limit for
maximum UPnP devices. If it is properly configured, results will be appeared under UPnP status.
