On a simple level, the camera has 4 addresses to take note of :

Internal IP Address of your Camera – normally 192.XX.XXX.XX
(Used for viewing your camera when you are inside your own network i.e at home)

External IP Address of your Network – can be found by going to http://www.whatsmyip.org/ e.g http://82.44.126.166
(The problem with these is that most peoples external IP changes every few hours – when you Enable UPNP, you open a “port” so you can access the Camera through your external IP, see below)

External IP Address of your Camera – your external IP as above + the port you opened (normally 8150) so http://82.44.126.166:8150

DDNS Address – to get around the problem with your external address changing, the camera can auto-update a DDNS service every time the IP changes, this means you can have 1 static address that always points to your camera. E.g http://mynewcamera.dtdns.net:8150

The mynewcamera part is your own account name, the dtdns part is the service that runs it and the 8150 is your port number to access the camera.

To check your own cameras settings, enter the Settings Menu, enter the System menu (link at top) and then view the section UPNP Port Forwarding. If parts of this section are blank, your camera is not properly configured, and you should consult the user manual for setup instructions.
