3.5.5 UPnP 
UPnP is short for Universal Plug and Play, which is a networking architecture that provides 
compatibility among networking equipment, software, and peripherals. This device is an UPnP 
enabled Network Camera. If your operating system is UPnP enabled, the device will automatically 
be detected and a new icon will be added to “My Network Places.” If you do not want to use the 
UPnP functionality, it can be disabled 
In addition, this device also provides UPnP IGD function for NAT traversal easily. Use NAT 
traversal when your device is located on an intranet (LAN) and you wish to make it available from 
the other (WAN) side of a NAT router. With NAT traversal properly configured, all HTTP traffic to 
an external HTTP port in the NAT router will be forwarded to the device.
