1.2.1 To Access this Product in IPv6
You need to prepare the followings to access this product in IPv6.
PC Requirements
Operating System: Windows XP Service Pack 1 or later
Web Browser: Internet Explorer 6.0 or later
An IPv6 Router
An IPv6 Connection Service
To connect in IPv6, subscribe to the ISPs IPv4/IPv6 Dual-Stack or IPv6 over 
IPv4 Tunneling service. This product does not work in IPv6-only network.
IPv6 Domain Name Service
In Windows XP, you cannot access this product entering IP address on the web 
browser. You need to enter IPv6 URL registered in the domain name service. We 
recommend Viewnetcam.com service (see page 
58) as a domain name service. 
Ask your ISP about other IPv6 domain name service.
What is IPv6?
 IPv6 is short for Internet Protocol Version 6.
 IPv6 was created to address the additional IP addresses that will be 
needed as the Internet continues to expand.
 IPv6 is expected to gradually replace IPv4, with the 2 coexisting for a 
number of years during a transition period.
 Though most ISPs (Internet Service Providers) do not yet support IPv6, 
many local networks already use it. When your ISP supports IPv6, this 
product will be ready!
