The NetCam is probably using a non-routable IP address (i.e. 192.168.1.X or 10.0.0.X) because it’s behind a router (gateway). In order to connect to it from WAN side, you have to set up port forwarding if your router supports it. Some manufactures call this feature virtual servers. Either way, you need to direct the request from your WAN IP to the camera’s LAN IP. Refer to your router’s user manual.
