For security sake, please upgrade to 6.0.1.

One way is to to PPTP into the network and then you should be able to access the web camera.

Sorry but I dont know what pptp means, can you explain it please ?

thanks a lot.

there are two possible resolutions:
- a VPN, so that you can join your home-network and see every computer in it
- port-forwarding: forward any port on your SME-box to the internal computer.
