[UPnP (Auto port forwarding)]
Select “On” or “Off” to determine whether or not to use the port forwarding function of the router.
To use the auto port forwarding function, the router in use must support UPnP and the UPnP must be enabled.
Default: Off
Note
Due to auto port forwarding, the port number may sometimes be changed. When the number is changed, it is necessary to change the port numbers registered in the PC and recorders, etc.
The UPnP function is available when the camera is connected to the IPv4 network. IPv6 is not supported.
To check if auto port forwarding is properly configured, click the [Status] tab on the “Maintenance” page, and check that the “Enable” is displayed for “Status” of “UPnP”. (→2.12.3 Check the status [Status])
When “Enable” is not displayed, refer to “Cannot access the camera via the Internet.” in 3.3 Troubleshooting.
When the “UPnP (Auto port forwarding)” setting is changed, the “Auto port forwarding” setting under “UPnP” on the [Advanced] tab of the “Network” page also changes to the same setting.
