If you Google search your router name along with “port forwarding” often you will find documentation from your router. It is quite easy, you just need the proper resource. If you are a total newbie with port forwarding, don’t be scared. Log into your camera’s web interface to verify the ports that are used.
If you are setting up your camera on Camcloud, it will ask you for one or both of the ports and that is how you will know what to port forward. Some require BOTH the RTSP and HTTP port. Some cameras will require you to setup the RTSP port (usually port 554). For example if you are setting up a Foscam camera typically you only need one port, HTTP (usually port 80 or 88 in the case of Foscam). If there is a protocol option, choose TCP or BOTH.įirst of all it is important to know what port you need to forward. Be sure to assign the port number to both the internal and external ports. Once in this menu, create a rule to forward the port selected from Step (1) to the internal (.x or 10.x.x.x) IP address of your camera. Now login to your router and look for a menu called ‘port forwarding’ (sometimes it will be under an “Application and Gaming” menu).Often it will be port 554, 80 or 88 but could be anything. Confirm what port has been assigned to your camera. Login to your camera’s admin interface and go to the network settings area.Here is a review of the common instructions: Now that you have your camera working on the network, you can setup port forwarding. You can setup the local connection using ethernet plugged in directly to the router or setup the camera so it works wirelessly.
