UPnP

I currently have a camera setup for remote viewing using a DDNS service, WIFI and port forwarding.

My son set it up and has since moved I was planning to buy a remote thermostat and wondered if I could just use UPnP for cameras and tstat it (UPnP) appears to be easier to set up than port forwarding and something I think I could do myself.

I guess my question is UPnP easy to set up? Camera manufacture recommends UPnP if you are not familiar with port forwarding.

    Thanks to TheAKbear for the UPnP info that is what I am looking for.

    When I read the thermostat instructions they said make sure your router will give an IP address so I assumed this meant you have to be set up for UPnP.

    Right now my router is configured for port forwarding and the DVR is connected to the router directly through the Ethernet cable, the thermostat will be through the WIFI and remote access will be through Honeywell's cloud.

    So I assume I will be OK without having to change the DVR to UPnP and the router will provide the IP address to the thermostat by WIFI.
