Accessing remotely via the App? or Tinycam Pro

[Kelemvor]

Howdy,
I have an IP2M-841B that works great. I can access the camera internal to my network. I just got done setting up uPnP and using the Amcrestddns stuff so I can now connect to my camera remotely which works fine from my laptop. However, I can't seem to get it to work from the app.

The App works fine if I'm on my network but I'm not sure what entries to put in the app to view it remotely. I do have TinyCam Pro that I can use but I've never used that either.

In uPnP I only have http and https setup with different ports. I'm reading I might also have to setup RTSP but don't know if I use a different port number and where I then put that.

I tried checking the RTSP box on the uPnP screen to enable it but it says Mapping Failed in the status column. The http and https ones mapped just fine.

Any general pointers would be great.

Thanks!

Tinycam uses RTSP. Each camera has a different RTSP port. Add these ports to your port forwarding.

took me a few minutes to figure it out, but in the end the tinycam config is simple. But I'll document here in case anyone else gets stuck.

Basically, for remote access via tinycam, TWO port forwardings need to be configured in your router, as opposed to just one in other model cameras.

So one for camera control (PTZ etc.) which points to port 80 in the camera- that is the tinycam "Remote Web port number". The other (for RTSP video) points to 554 in the camera- "Remote RTSP port number".

e.g. (giving the camera an ip of 192.168.1.100):

Code: Select all

External Port   Internal Port     Internal IP           enter  here in tinycam:



12345              80              192.168.1.100      Remote Web port number - 12345  

54321              554            192.168.1.100      Remote RTSP port number - 54321

Thank you. I searched everywhere. You answered specifically and clearly and you did not tell the reader they really wanted to do something else. Very appreciative. It made resolving the port forward issue for RTSP simple.
