TinyCam Pro, IP2M-841, and PTZ controls

[bierfellow]

Hi all,

I've gotten my TinyCam Pro to livestream from both a Foscam and from the IP2M-841. I can see the camera feeds from both within the same network and from outside the network. However, I can't seem to use the PTZ controls on the IP2M-841. The PTZ controls on the Foscam works. I don't know enough about these things to understand why it's not working. There doesn't seem to be settings explicitly for PTZ controls.

I could use some help.

It's not really any different. Are you sure you selected the correct camera in TinyCam? Did you list both the HTTP and RTSP ports? Are both forwarded in your router? I have several IP2M-841s and they work fine.

I believe that's my mistake. I didn't forward the HTTP port as well. I only forwarded the TCP and RTSP ports.

On the Foscam, forwarding the HTTP port wasn't necessary so I didn't make the connection.

Thanks! If it works, I'll come back and update. I'm at work right now so I won't be able to mess with it until I get home.

The HTTP port is referred to as the Web port in Tiny Cam. HTTP is definitely required with Foscam. RTSP is not required for Foscam. For the Amcrest, under Connection, you set the HTTP and RTSP ports. I set the RTSP port as HTTP + 2000 (ie HTTP: 1500 and RTSP as 3500). Then forward both to the IP of the Amcrest Camera. In Foscam, you're only concerned with HTTP in the camera setup under Port.

Hmm... On TinyCam, I just deliberately put in a bad value for the "web port" setting and left my RTSP setting as is. The video is still streaming so I must have messed up that HTTP setting on the camera side or on the router side.

Thank you so much! I'll update when I get home.
