Accessing IP cameras remotely via Homehub wireless...

I have only basic networking knowledge but using the useful information on the various sites I have managed to setup two additional BT Homehubs to link to the main homehub and provide connectivity for some IP cameras. The Homehubs are a mix of the older white models, I believe the main one is version 1.5.
The reason for doing it this way is that's it's not practical to route cables from the cameras back to the main hub. This all works great on the internal network, and I can also get remote access over the Internet to the camera connected to the main hub, via dyndns.
The problem is getting remote access to the cameras connected to the repeater hubs. I'm assuming I have to configure the equivalent port-forwarding on the main hub, but I can't see the other cameras as devices on the main hub in order to add them into the configuration.
Am I going about this the wrong way, or maybe it isn't even possible to do this? Thanks for any help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I doubt that what you are doing will work, as the Eternet ports on the remote home hubs will not appear as individual ports on the main hub.
Powerline adapters would be a much better solution.

Accessing Security Cameras Remotely

I have security cameras attached to a DVR. The DVR is plugged into my Airport Extreme. I have a static IP address from my ISP. I am vaguely aware that I need to assign the DVR a local IP address and use port forwarding to access the DVR remotely. However, I have had zero luck getting this to work.
Help!

There are two basic steps for configuring port mapping: 1) Assigning a static (or DHCP-reserved) IP address to the host device ... in this case the security camera, and 2) Configure port mapping on the router.
AEBSn - Port Mapping Setup
To setup port mapping on an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or temporarily connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the LAN port of the AEBSn, and then use the AirPort Utility, in Manual Setup, to make these settings:
1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the camera.
Internet > DHCP tab
o On the DHCP tab, click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
o Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
o Reserve address by: MAC Address
o Click Continue.
o MAC Address: <enter the MAC hardware address of the camera>
o IPv4 Address: <enter the desired IP address to be reserved for the camera>
o Click Done.
2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
Advanced > Port Mapping tab
o Click the "+" (Add) button
o Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>
o Public UDP Port(s): <enter the appropriate UDP port values>
o Public TCP Port(s): <enter the appropriate TCP port values>
o Private IP Address: <enter the IP address you reserved in the previous step>
o Private UDP Port(s): <enter the same as Public UDP Ports or your choice>
o Private TCP Port(s): <enter the same as Public TCP Ports or your choice>
o Click "Continue"

How can I prevent others from accessing my camera roll via usb?

How can I prevent other people from accessing my camera via a usb? I do not want anyone to be able to copy or view the pictures on my iphone.

Yes, leave your personal account running in the background and the guest account in the foreground, or if that's somehow inconvenient (and with fast user switching I don't think it is really), you can lock the Dock with a program like Tinkertool (System?) or Onyx and lock applications from removal by locking their status in file info (apple+a to select all the apps, apple + click to unselect the drawers or non-apps, and then applealti to do multiple file info at once) and then click the lock square. Then back out to the apps folder info itself and lock it.

Connecting to IP Cameras remotely

I have been searching the forums and cannot quite get what I need. I have two TrendNet IP cameras setup and can connect to them and see them with my Linksys WRT54g router on site, wirelessly connect. My problem is connecting to the cameras remotely from home. Is there a guide that will walk me through it? I have an AT&T DSL modem (Not wireless), my router is wireless. Please advise. Thank you.

Well if you want to access your Camera remotely, then you need to register your camera with www.Dyndns.com. Using Dyndns url you can access your camera from the Remote location.

Loss of DNS connection and internet access to camera

I seemed to have lost my connection after a power outage last week. I've reconfigured the camera several times and it still seems to lose it's settings (date, static IP) I've checked the port forward settings which are fine. I see the camera on my PC utility and within my network. There is also a error on the camera that it hasn't been able to contact the DDNS server on it's scheduled updates. Any suggestions. I'm using the Linksys router WRT54GX2.

Hi....
As you are losing the settings on the camera i would like u to upgrade the camera firmware.
Also upgrade the router firmware.
After upgrading the camera and the router firmware, reset the devices and then reconfigure it.
After reconfiguring the camera, login into the camera setup page, go to setup and then sololink DDNS and click on Update now.
Check whether you are able to access the camera remotely.

Cant access security cameras with ea6200 router

I have everythig hooked up. port forwarding is enabled on port 80. i can only access my cameras from within my network. if i go outside my network i cant get in.
please help.
its like i cnt get passed the firewall

What are things you tried so far in accessing your camera remotely? Have you tried to type your public/WAN ip address and the port number (ex: http://68.12.123.3:80) on the address bar? Try to verify as well which port is needed for your camera. There might be something else other than 80.

Yes, you can use the printer with both the USB and wireless connections simultaneously.

Accessing my router/wireless linksys camera remotely

How can I view my linksys wireless camera from a remote location? I am using internet explorer but don't know how to access my router. I know the ip address to the camera but what is the command string I must use?

what you need to do is forward a port on your router.
by default the port that needs to be forwarded for the linksys camera is 1024.Since you know the IP of the camera,this is what you do.
access the router using http://192.168.1.1 , enter the password "admin".
Click on the tab "applications and gaming" then select the "port range forward" . enter the app as "what u want" the start port as "1024" end port "1024" select protocal as TCP and enter the IP of the camera.and enable. save settings
Now to access the camera froma remote location you will have to know your WAN IP address at all times.This IP address is on the "status page of the router" so at the remote location you need to type "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1024
Or you can register with sololink.

HT4262 Can I extend a wired remote base station network via wireless WDS Remote to a Wireless WDS main base station?

I have a wired nework in a remote closet (3 PC's to a 100/1000 Linksys switch). I have an Apple Extreme network connected to the Internet in another remote closet allowing wireless PC's and wired PC's access to the internet and printers. I do not have the ability to connect the two networks together via wired although they are 50' apart.
My objective is to configure two Airport Extreme devices so the remote wired PCs can connect via the remote/relay Airport Extremen to the main Airport base station for DHCP, internet and intranet.
One Aiport Extreme base station is Model # A1034 and the other is Model A1408.

Can I extend......?
Yes, this is possible. But sometimes, the fact that something can be done does not necessarily mean that it should be done. In a case like this....Upsides are far outweighed by Downsides.
Upsides
You will have more wireless coverage (but 50 feet is a long way if there are multiple walls or ceilings in the signal path...I am not optimistic about this)
The Ethernet ports will be enabled on the remote Extreme.
Downsides
The required WDS configuration will drop the performance of your newer "n" Extreme down to wireless "g" levels.
In addition, the bandwidth on the entire network will drop by 50%. In effect, you will have a "g" wireless network running at half speed
WDS is difficult for most users to configure. It is very easy to make a mistake and literally impossible to recover without starting all over again with the configuration attempt
It might work. But things are going to be extremely slow. Might be OK for general Internet browsing or light email. Any file transfers or copies from one device to another are going to take a very long time.
You also might want to review the WDS setup required to get an idea of what is involved here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4262
As you know, a far better way to do this would be to connect the two AirPort Extremes using an Ethernet connection. If you cannot run the Ethernet cable, you might want to consider a pair of Ethernet Powerline Adapters.
These devices send an Ethernet signal over the existing AC powerlines in your home. So, you already have the wiring in place....you just need the adapters. I've used these devices for runs up to 70-80 feet or so with good results. But, you need to understand that there are number of factors that can affect performance here.
So, if you want to try the powerline adapters, I would strongly recommend that you understand the store's return policy in advance. The bottom line is always this.....you won't know how they will work until you install them in your home.
Apple's instructions for a setup using Ethernet are here:

IP Camera remote access

Hi, I am new to the forum and not particularly familiar with port forwarding etc.
I have bought an IP camera which I managed to set up in my elderly Mums house, through her wifi.
I understand I need to have a DNS account to remotely access it and the instructions mention opening a free dyndns account which is no longer available. Is this something that BT include or is there a provider that can be recommended, please?
Any help appreciated, thanks
Nigel

Welcome to this forum.
There is plenty of information on these pages.
Port forwarding problems
How can I connect to my webcam or NAS if my public IP address changes?
CCTV and IP cameras - port forwarding
Its a DDNS service that you would need if you want to access the camera from the Internet.
The BT Home Hub supports a number of DDNS providers, and will update your host name, if your public IP address changes.
I use DynDNS as my DDNS provider, but there are a few others. Make sure you use one which is supported by the Home Hub. If you look at "Dynamic DNS" in the home hub menu, you will see which ones they are.
If you say which IP camera you have, then forum members may be able to help.

Can I access my time machine remotely via it's IP address?

I'm going away - I know that I might need some documents that I can anticipate. Can I access my time capsule via it's IP address?

On the other hand if you have a dynamic IP address from your ISP how are you going to find the IP address once you are away.
You call your wife and ask her to open up AirPort Utility on her computer and give you the IP address
I never used this connection very much when traveling because it was always incredibly S------L------O------W. I don't think users realize that they are at the mercy of of their uplink connection from a hotel or any other spot.

How do I access my iMac remotely when working away from the office?

I work away from the office for much of the time. How can I access my iMac remotely?

Unless this is critcal for some reason I would not do this. Unless you understand all the techinolticcal pit falls you can leave your computer dangerusly exposed doing this. If you are not technical your best bet is going to be to get a wireless router with built in VPN support ($200 - $500) to give you a secure connection home. And then you will need the Apple Remote Desktop app ($90 I think) and even then it will only work if your work compute is also a Mac. There are probably other comerial apps that will let you remote into your Mac desktop on windows but will probably be in the $200 price range.
