1. A system to identify a networked device for establishing a point-to point (P2P) connection, the system comprising:

  • a network server having a list of networked devices that are pre-registered in the network server, wherein the network server associates a corresponding identification of each networked device with a corresponding IP address of the networked device for enabling terminal devices to establish P2P connections with the plurality of networked devices;

    a first networked monitoring device, having a first identification embedded in the first networked monitoring device, wherein the first networked monitoring device registers the embedded first identification into the list of networked devices to associate a corresponding IP address of the first networked monitoring device with the first identification by connecting to the network server through the Internet;

    an image pattern, being attached on the first networked monitoring device and comprising the first identification for establishing a P2P connection with the first networked monitoring device; and

    a terminal device, wherein the terminal device generates a connection request signal when the image pattern is captured to the terminal device; and

    the terminal device transmits the connection request signal to the network server through the Internet, wherein the network server obtains the first identification according to the connection request signal and obtains the corresponding IP address of the first networked monitoring device according to the obtained first identification for establishing a P2P connection between the terminal device and the first networked monitoring device, wherein the network server respectively transmits hole-punching messages to the terminal device and the first networked monitoring device via the Internet to establish the P2P connection, and wherein the first networked monitoring device does not capture any image pattern associated with the terminal device for establishing the P2P connection between the terminal device and the first networked monitoring device.
