5.2.4 NETWORK/P2P (Point-to-Point)
You can access your camera even behind an IPv6 connection or mobile Router
(UMTS/LTE, with changing WAN IP)! Use the P2P function to access your camera from
the internet, when you cannot set a port forwarding for the camera that is necessary for
the DDNS service (s. 5.2.3).
There are
3 ways
to connect your camera with the INSTAR App
1
Tap the "Search" button to find the p2p camera inside your local network
2
Type in the "UID" from the camera´s web UI or from the label on the camera case.
3
Click QR Scan and use your smartphone to scan the QR code on the webUI or
on the label that you can find on the camera casing.
Please note that the QR code in the webUI and on the product label both contain the
UID, camera model, admin username and password for a quick setup. Please note that
the username and password on the product label are only default settings (s.4.2), while
the webUI QR code will be always up-to-date with the log-in credentials. We recom-
mend that you change the administrator password of the camera (s. 5.3.3) and use the
QR code from the webUI. Please restart the camera after changing the password.
ATTENTION: The P2P connection ONLY works with the admin user!
5.2.5 NETWORK/UPnP
Activate the P2P function to access your camera from
the internet without the need for a port forwarding
in your router (s. 5.2.3). Simply add the camera as a
P2P camera in our InstarVision app (s. 8), scan the
QR code on the Network/P2P overlay in the webUI
or from the label on the camera and add the cameras
administrator login (s. 4.2).
Manually type in your User ID or...
2
...use the automatic network or QR scanner.

If you are using Universal Plug and Play(UPnP) for
your network devices, please activate the UPnP ser-
vice in your camera. In case you are using a manu-
al port forwarding rule in your router to access your
camera from the internet, make sure the cameras
UPnP service is deactivated! We recommend setting
up a manual port forwarding.
