Why would you expose such a camera to the web?
With a upnp router, you don't have to manually open any ports; it can be done automatically by the camera or app. Meaning that just by adding certain cameras to your internal network, they're automatically open to the Internet.
What kind of idiot would network them on a web connected router?!
The kind that want an app to see what's going on in their home?
If I want to feel good my first thought isn't 'dilotted!'.
That's not what a healthy sane or responsible adult thinks.
If that us your first thought, you do in fact have a problem that may need to be addressed.
The average consumer.
