![]() ![]() ![]() I’ve found several routers that have caused me tons of pain. ![]() Sometimes this is a checkbox or simply a button to apply settings. Many routers let you create the rule, but don’t actually turn it on or “enable” it. In the screen shot above I can’t tell you how many times someone has just forgotten to “Enable” the rule. If you have one camera setup on port 8080, change the next one to 8081 and so on. If you have more than one camera you can’t use the same port. Remember if you change the HTTP port to access your camera locally add the port, for example: 192.168.1.20:8080. Simply log into your camera’s web interface, find the HTTP or RTSP port (depending which one you are using) and change accordingly. Safe yourself some headache and just change it now to something >1024. In fact many ports under 1024 are already reserved. Avoid conflicts with other devices by changing this. This may not be your camera but the point is just to see how a port is forwarded.Īre you enjoying our tutorial on this topic? We hope so! Learn how you can connect almost any IP camera to Camcloud for cloud storage and more! For example select any Foscam or D-Link in the list.

This site has an extensive list of routers and applications you can use to help you understand how to port forward for your router.

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.
