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.

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.
