Y-cam Black Quick Installation Manual - Congratulations
Note: there are 2 types of external IP addresses:
1.
Static – Your external IP address will never change, even if you turn your
broadband modem off and on.
2. Dynamic – Your external IP address may be likely to change every time your
computer connects to the internet.
Basically this means that if you want to access your camera from outside your
network and have a Dynamic IP address, you will have to re-check your external
IP address every time you connect to the internet. You can ask your ISP if they
can provide you with a static IP address or you can eliminate the need to enter
an IP address at all by setting up DDNS. DDNS allows you to enter a normal style
internet address (e.g. johnsmith.dtdns.net) into your browser and it will find
your camera, even if you have a dynamic IP address. For more information on
how to set up DDNS, refer to the Y-cam User Guide PDF file to be found on
the CD-ROM.

Points to note:
Like all electronic equipment, it may be necessary to turn the power off and on
again of the Y-cam and the router if you are experiencing difficulty.
You may also experience difficulty in accessing the camera from certain
work/corporate networks due to the high levels of network security.
In such cases it may be necessary to contact your network administrator.
Due to the complexity of broadband internet environments and Internet Service
Providers, you may not be able to view your camera from outside your local
network. In this case please refer to the User Manual for further information.
