IP camera HH4 Port forwarding

I am missing something here! Maybe it is my advanced years (85)
I have 2 IP cameras that I managed to control via Virgin Super Hub but since switching to BT the Home Hub 4 has me confused.
Can someone please give me a step by step example of how to port forward a camera (say) ‘007dwsr’ http:/192.168.1.xx:88.
I am O.K. accessing the hub up to ‘Port Forwarding’ but then what I enter into what box after that I cannot figure out.
I need this to keep an eye on my aged wife.

And this page.

HH4 port forwarding

Hello,
I had infinity option2 installed yesterday with the HH4
I tried to set up port forwarding for SSH to my linux box but no matter what I do I cannot get a connection.
I have done port scans from http://ping.eu/port-chk/ to port 22 but it says it is closed.
I have turned off UPnP extended security as said in a few forums.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Not sure whether its the same as other home hubs, but this may help.

Port forwarding to two devices with HH4

Having set up my IP camera with HH4 successfully, I've now got another one and would like to set it up as well. I gave it a unique, static IP address which my router can see fine. When I try to set up port forwarding, I get a message saying:
"The game or application you’ve selected conflicts with an application (IP Cam 1) you’ve already assigned to another device. Please remove the other application or select the same device."
I am not being given the option to select the same device.
I'm now wondering if port forwarding to two identical devices actually works in principle with HH4? Has anyone else done this?

If in the Home Hub 4 A you go to
Advanced Settings
Firewall
Port Fowarding
Manage Games and Applications
You get the following statement:
"Each game or application can be assigned to only one device on your home network"
I would think that the only way round your problem is to have each Camera running a different application or the same application with a different name.
Does the remote browser app need to know the application name or just the device name ?
If you think about how Port Forwarding needs to function you need a way whereby the remote user needs to be able to tell the Hub what Camera to talk to.

Port Forwarding (for IP Camera)

I have so far been unsuccessful in in setting up my new ip camera for remote monitoring.
I have followed all instructions within the "bt homehub" domain for port forwarding in application sharing but when I check that the port (80) is open (using pfportckecker.exe) it returns "unable to ping your router" and "port is not open or available".
Can anyone help please - I am becoming very frustrated !
Thanks

Thanks,

For "Unknown-7c-dd-90-05-5e-df" the bit in bold should be the MAC address of your camera. It is normally printed on the device somewhere.
You can rename this if you wish, by editing the name to something more appropriate.
You should have a created a custom rule called mikes-camera, which with:-
Protocol TCP
Start port 8080
End port 8080
Mapped to 8080
Leave the rest blank.
You should be able to assign this to the device.
A lot depends on which version of the home hub you are using.
What I have found by experience, is that it is better to use a static IP address, if your device supports it, as DHCP can be a bit unreliable when port mapping is involved.
You can use a static address outside of the DHCP range. Like 192.168.1.50.
You can still forward ports to it, by selecting the device by its IP address, not its name.
If you can view your camera within your own network, using http://192.168.1.69:8080 then you just need to persevere with the port mapping.

How do I do port forwarding on my airport extreme for my IP camera (foscam)?

Hi,
I've been working on this for what seems like a week. I purchased a wireless security camera to put in my house and to see from my laptop (or IPAD2) when I'm away. I am able to see it from either device when I'm here at home, but not when I'm out on the road.
According to the instructions for a mac setup, I needed to set up a DDNS service and get a free account at DynDNS, which I did. They also told me to use a different port than 80, suggesting 8081 as the http port which I plugged in to the camera device setting.. The next step is to do PORT FORWARDING and then I should be able to use my DDNS domain name and port number to login to my camera anywhere...
I'm stuck in how to do this with my airport extreme. I see where I have to go into utilities and click on airport utility, and then manual set-up..
Right now when I click on the Internet tab at the top I see the connection sharing is off (Bridge Mode), and that I have to change it to share a public IP address to get DHCP and NAT to appear in the tabs..
when I go to NAT, the box for enable NAT port mapping protocol is checked and then there is a tab I can click on that says Configure Port Mapping.
I know that I'm supposed to click the plus button + to enter a service and a port and here's where I get stuck
when I click the + button I can either click on the choose a service tab, which then drops down a list of services like Personal File Sharing, Window Sharing, Personal Web Sharing, Remote Login SSH , etc, or just keep it where it says choose a service and not choose one of the services.
Then there are some boxes to fill in for Public UDP Port(s), Public TCP Port(s), PRIVATE IP address-where the only numbers I can change are the last ones and I don't know if I'm supposed to put the IP address of the camera or what? and then the boxes for Public UDP and PUBLIC TCP.
I tried a few times to fill out the port numbers to 8081 (the one I selected for the IP camera) but I don't know what to do for the private IP address. When I changed the last numbers to the IP address of my camera, and went to update, it told me that I had to correct the 2 problems before updating:
DHCP beginning address, and dhcp ending address...as the DHCP range you have entered conflicts with the WAN IP address of your Airport wireless device. So I cancel and am stuck.
Sorry this is so long.. but I really can't get anyone to help me figure this out.. The camera company isn't answering ..
Thanks!!
Barry

Thanks for the info. I checked the model number on the Westell site to get info on the device. From Westell's info.....
1. Product Description
This ADSL modem is a NAT router with a four port 10/100BaseT Ethernet switch, a USB port and 802.11g wireless interface.
So, while you might refer to it as a "modem" ( a modem will only have one Ethernet port), you have a router or gateway. A gateway is simply a modem and router in the same box.
With the AirPort Extreme, you have 2 routers on the network. Basic networking rules dictate that when there are 2 routers, the first....your Westell.....must handlde DHCP and NAT, and the second router....in this case the AirPort Extreme....must be configured to operate in Bridge Mode so that it will function correctly on the network. That's why the AirPort Extreme is in Bridge Mode. That is the correct setting on your network.
That's also why you were getting the error messages when you tried to configure the Extreme as a second router.
As I mentioned before, any port mapping or port forwarding is going to have to be set up on the "main" router....your Westell. It cannot be set up on the AirPort Extreme.

HT3546 How do I set up my air port extreme to do port forwarding? Running 10.7.4 I have a IP camera on my local wireless net work that I want to use from my iPhone 4s and other computers.

How do I set up my air port extreme to do port forwarding? Running 10.7.4 I have a IP camera on my local wireless net work that I want to use from my iPhone 4s and other computers.

In most cable systems, the router you have will plug into your modem and just work automatically. A NAT (Network Address Translation) router takes your external IP and hands out LAN (Local Area Network) based IPs. All of the devices you are working with right now should handle the change automatically unless you've changed from the default automatic configuration.
The problem with your wireless end of this is that the iPhone is not yet 802.11n, only 802.11g. Because that router is not dual band, all of your wifi devices will be forced to slow down to 802.11g speeds. This won't matter much for each device that's connecting to the internet, as your bottleneck is still going to be there. Where you will see slowdowns is device to device connections, like transferring data between the devices.

Settings for port forwarding IP cameras

I am trying to configure Airport Extreme to set them up for Port Forwarding. As I have found many times, the directions are set up for routers on PC's, not on Macs... I have accessed Port Forwarding before for other cameras, and tried to do it the same way as before, but when I click on UPDATE to update the Airport Express, and then check on the settings I made for the camera, the settings are missing...I am not sure if there is one set of Port numbers I should be using but am not... Also, on the very first heading of a port forwarding window, there are apparently several default set ups, Remote access, Mail etc.. but none for IP cameras.. wondering if there is one set up I should use in this heading. Thanks for any help or advice....
Geoff

the program that came with the camera found the IP address for the camera but lists a web address for my LAN, not a WAN...ie http://10.0.1.34/ how do I either find out what IP address the DHCP gave the camera
The 10.0.1.34 IP address is the one assigned by the DHCP server in your AirPort Extreme router.
how do I either find out what IP address the DHCP gave the camera, if it did, or assign one to the camera so that its accessible from outside my LAN? like an IP address of 198. etc...
Typically, you will want to assign a static Private IP address for your IP camera. You can then port map to this static address when attempting to access the camera from the Internet. In this case you will want to use the DHCP Reservations feature that is located on the DHCP tab within the AirPort Utility.
Accessing the camera from the Internet would require the public WAN-side IP address of your router. This address is provided to you from your ISP. So for example, if your camera is accessable from a web browser, you would enter http://<your WAN-side IP address>:80 in the browser when you are at a remote location.

How do you port forward a dvr home security camera using Actiontec Wi424wr router

I been on this for days now. I viewed the videos, I read the websites and I'm still not able to remotely view my camera. Is there a step I am missing? Do I have to make a change in the Windows program too? ActionTec and Verizon what am I'm missing? Thanks for any help.

Port forwarding security cameras WPA2 blocked?

I just bought an Airport Extreme router and set up port forwarding for home security cameras.
When I have no security - I can access the cameras remotely (iPhone) and locally with no problems on my iPhone. However, when I add on WPA2 security everything gets blocked. Is there a firewall or feature inside the AEBS that needs to be modified? Help!

The fact that you can access the cameras remotely verifies that the port settings are correct on your AEBS.
Wireless security does not use ports as it is a local network feature so no additional base station settings should be required.
The issue appears to be with your iPhone Wi-Fi connection when wireless security is enabled. WPA2 is supported with all iPhone models.
I would recommend at this point to change the security password to see if this resolves the problem. Temporarily try the following as the base station's Wireless Security password: 0123456789abcdef0123456789
Note that there are exactly 26 characters. If this works, go ahead and change the password. I would recommend one that contains a combination of 26 letters, numbers, & punctuation marks without using any spaces.

Port Forwarding Question for IP Camera with MI424WR-GEN3

So just switched to fios from cable and trying to set up port forwarding on this new actiontec router so I can view my IP Camera from outside the house.
The camera has a static IP address of 192.168.1.200 using port 8080 and I works fine if I type that IP address with the port into the browser inside the network.
The IP Camera company requires you to port forward port 80 (switched to 8080) 554 and 50000-60000.
So I set up Portforwarding on the router like this:
Networked Computer / Device
192.168.1.200:8080
Applications & Ports Forwarded
IPCamera
TCP 8080 -> 8080
UDP 8080 -> 8080
TCP 554 -> 554
UDP 554 -> 554
TCP 50000-60000 -> 50000-60000
UDP 50000-60000 -> 50000-60000
WAN Connection Type
All Broadband Devices
Status
Active
Now the problem is when I type my real IP address: 108.XX.XXX.37:8080 (from inside the network it pulls up the Fios router login page and when I pull it up outside the network I get page not found. This isnt any different then I had previously done on my Netgear router, but I must be missing something on this actiontec one. Any suggestions?
Thanks

No port on the ip address

Need some help with ip camera port forwarding

Setting up a ip wireless security camera to provide internet access thru a airport extreme router. Using the free ip scanner software provided with the camera, I can see and connect to the camera on my own home network, wirelessly. I believe that port forwarding will give me access to the camera outside the local network. I'd like to be sure I am setting up the port forwarding correctly. Also if I decide to use back to my Mac in the future will this camera setup interfere with the settings?

OK I figured out how to Port forward and how to do DHCP reservations. Unfortunately the latest 5th Gen Airport extreme software has a bug and neither ip Cam would work. Rolling back the software on the Airport to a previous version finally allowed the DHCP reservations to work. But the port forwarding or something is not working. I can not log on to the ip cams remotely or wirelessly. I may have to borrow a different Wireless router from a IT friend and disconnect the Airport Extreme, to get the cams on wirelessly. Hopefully they fix the problem some day.

RTSP steaming Port Forward (?) problems with 4 (four) WVC54GCA cameras on WRT54G v2 router.

I am having difficulties correctly setting up my four (4) WVC54GCA cameras on a WRT54G v2 router to make them stream RTSP videos that I can view on my BlackBerry Bold. I can access the cameras from the internet, through
http://CAM1_SubDomain.Linksys-Cam.com/1024
http://CAM2_SubDomain.Linksys-Cam.com/1025
http://CAM3_SubDomain.Linksys-Cam.com/1026
http://CAM4_SubDomain.Linksys-Cam.com/1027
so that part works fine.
All the 4 cameras are set up with static IP addresses.
The default RTSP port 554 and RTP Data port at 5000 are forwarded to CAM1 IP address. I can access CAM1 RTSP feed on my Blackberry Bold (and also on a good old Samsung SGH-A706 cell phone).
CAM 1 Settings:
STATIC IP: 192.168.1.201
Alternate HTTP Port: 1024 à Forwarded to 192.168.1.201
RTSP Port: 554 à Forwarded to 192.168.1.201
RTSP Data Port: 5000 à Forwarded to 192.168.1.201
RTSP access on cell phone WORKS only with the following format: rtsp://CAM1_SubDomain.Linksys-Cam.com/1111, where 1111 is the access code.
CAM 2 Settings:
STATIC IP: 192.168.1.202

RTSP Port: 1029 à Forwarded to 192.168.1.202
RTSP Data Port: NOT SURE IF I NEED TO FORWARD ONE, HELP PLEASE
Despite I have a dedicated subdomain for each camera from TZO, the following link DOESN’T WORK
rtsp://CAM2_SubDomain.Linksys-Cam.com/1111, where 1111 is the access code.
Actually, when I enter the above link, the cellphone brings in the feed from CAM1, I guess due to the identical access code with CAM2. Once I change the access code for CAM2, it doesn’t’t show any feed.
CAM 3 Settings:
STATIC IP: 192.168.1.203
Alternate HTTP Port: 1026 à Forwarded to 192.168.1.203

Despite I have a dedicated subdomain for each camera from TZO, the following link DOESN’T WORK
rtsp://CAM3_SubDomain.Linksys-Cam.com/1111, where 1111 is the access code. This feed also brings in CAM1.
CAM 4 Settings:

DMZ could probably fix the problem for a second camera, but not for all four CAMs
OS: XP SP2
Question 1: Any idea how can I get all the four cameras RTSP feed on my cell/BlackBerry?
Question 2: I am running out of Port Range forwards. Should I add more port forwards, I have only one more shot. Any workaround?
Each and every help idea is greatly appreciated!

I have six of these cams and used the tutorial and review at http://www.Myhomserver.com for help. First thing, set ALL the RTSP access codes the SAME, so all you need to do is increment the port for each cam
Cam 1 - 192.168.1.200 - set at port 80 TCP - RTSP port default at 554, forward port 5000 UDP/TCP and the RTSP access code 12345
Cam 2 - 192.168.1.201 - set at port 1024 TCP - RTSP port at 1029, forward port 5001 UDP/TCP and the RTSP access code 12345
Cam 3 - 192.168.1.202 - set at port 1025 TCP - RTSP port at 1030, forward port 5002 UDP/TCP and the RTSP access code 12345
Cam 4 - 192.168.1.203 - set at port 1026 TCP - RTSP port at 1031, forward port 5003 UDP/TCP and the RTSP access code 12345
Cam 5 - 192.168.1.204 - set at port 1027 TCP - RTSP port at 1032, forward port 5004 UDP/TCP and the RTSP access code 12345
Cam 6 - 192.168.1.205 - set at port 1028 TCP - RTSP port at 1033, forward port 5005 UDP/TCP and the RTSP access code 12345
This worked for me using the above settings....take your time, plan out the ports, all RTSP ports must be different on each cam
Accessing CAMS can be done via your cell phone below:
Camera 1---> RTSP://<your TZO camera domain>:554/12345
Camera 2---> RTSP://<your TZO camera domain>:1029/12345
Camera 3---> RTSP://<your TZO camera domain>:1030/12345
Camera 4---> RTSP://<your TZO camera domain>:1031/12345
Camera 5---> RTSP://<your TZO camera domain>:1032/12345
Camera 6---> RTSP://<your TZO camera domain>:1033/12345

How to port forward to allow access to ip camera

Hello. My ip camera is set to http://10.0.1.11:8000. Can you assist with port forwarding, so I can access this camera from outside of my home network? I have the most recent Airport Utility and Time Capsule. Thank you.

I did find two posts that explain in exact detail how to port forward.. did you not read them??
Here. I will give it to you by copy and paste so you don't even have to look.
Start the AirPort Utility (in lion download and use 5.6 not 6) > Select the TC
Select Manual Setup.
Verify that Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address is selected on the Internet > Internet Connection tab.
Select Advanced, and then, select the Port Mapping tab.
Click the plus sign to add a new port mapping.
For Service, leave the default; this will change to "Custom" once you start entering port values.
In the Public UDP Port(s) and Public TCP Port(s) boxes, type in a 4-digit port number (e.g., 8000) that you choose. In the Private IP Address box, type the internal IP address of your camera. In the Private UDP Port(s) and Private TCP Port(s) boxes, enter the appropriate port values that should have been provided to you by the camera manufacturer. Click Continue.
In the Description box, type a descriptive name like "Internet Camera Access," and then, click Done.
Click on Update.
To connect to the shared Camera from a remote location using a Mac or PC:
Start your favorite web browser.
Enter the dtdns.com-provided Domain Name, followed by a colon and the Public port number that you choose in step 7 of the previous procedure. For example: http://www.mydtdnsdomainname.com:8888

Port Forwarding To Two Macs with Port 22 limitations

This is another port forwarding/port 22 issue and I've look around and not seen an answer to my specific problem. I work for a business that has an in-house ad system that runs on a Mac Mini. I have been accessing that Mac Mini remotely because we set up port forwarding through the Linksys rounter that is at the business using port 22. This is the only port that works for this connection to the mini and the software.
We are now adding a second Mac Mini to send the ads to a different set of monitors. I can't set up port forward to the new mini on the same port so I don't know how to connect to this mini remotely. Is there a way to get into the first mini through port 22 and then somehow communite to the second one through the first? Is there another way to do port forwarding...or have the linksys router switch from one mini to the other when a request comes in? There will only be one remote computer trying to reach either Mac Mini so there will never be simultaneous traffic coming in. Any help would be appreciated!
The linksys router is critical to the business becasue a host of other devices are forwarded though it as well.
Thank you.
