Windows 2000 does not support UPnP feature

To discover your camera, go to your Desktop and click My Network Places. 

 

Click the targeted camera. Then Internet Explorer will connect to this camera automatically. 

Once installed, the camera is accessible on your LAN. To access the camera from the Internet 
you must configure your broadband router to allow incoming data traffic to the camera. If the 
camera is installed on the LAN with a router, then it may get a dynamic IP address from the 
DHCP server. However, if the camera wants to be accessed from the WAN, its IP address needs 
to be set up as fixed IP, also the port forwarding or Virtual Server function of router needs to be 
set up.   

However, if your NAT router supports UPnP feature, it can be very easy to achieve NAT traversal 
automatically. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature, which will attempt to automatically 
configure the router to allow access to the camera.   

Installing the camera with an UPnP router on your network is an easy 3–step procedure: 

Step1: Enable UPnP option of your NAT router 

Step2: Enable UPnP NAT traversal option of the camera (default) 

To use UPnP IGD function (NAT traversal), you need to make sure the UPnP function is enabled 
in your router. Most new home routers should support this function. This feature is not enabled by 
default in all routers.    Please check user’s manual of your NAT router for detail.
