Wireless Webcam Port Forwarding

Westell 327W ModemRouter/Wireless all-in-one.  3360 Kbits Verizon DSL service. Trendnet TV-IP501W wireless internet camera- computer can be turned off and camera will still work as long as it gets wireless from the Westell.  Westell "dslrouter" interface, verizon flavor, similar to Actiontec MI-424-WR.
Set up camera fine on my side of the Westell- home network can see/use it fine.  I want to make it available out to the world so others can see it and so I can see it when away from home.  Right now I turn the Westell off at night and back on in the morning.
Now, before we get into port forwarding issues, how could this possibly work since each time you turn on the Westell Verizon assigns you a different (dynamic) IP address?  Sure, in my house the camera, computers may get the same internal home network address but that won't work beyond my house.  Or, should you just never turn off the Westell so you have the same IP (static?) all the time?  What if power failure (OK, a UPS could alleviate that) or an interruption at Verizon's end?
So, can someone enlighten me on the basic methodology first, before we get into port forwarding and my many trys at that- addl info will then be provided.
Thanks in advance!

You have to setup a free account on http://www.dyndns.com/ or other DNS site. Depends on the webcam you have but some have their own service for this, Dlink and Panasonic have this service in the setup.
If you use any port other than 80 you will need to setup a webhop on http://www.dyndns.com/ . From past experience the Verizon modems block incoming port 80. I found that switching to a dlink DSL modem that 80 was not blocked. It must be in the Verizon firmware where they block port 80. My guess is you will not be able to use port 80.
You will set your webhop up with the port number at the end like this http://www.yourdomain.org : port# The webhop works by making 2 domains with the first one forwarding to the second one that has the port number on it.

  • Does Verizon Wireless support Port forwarding.

    The 4510L has port forwarding. But the IP address ports are all stealth. I know VW has to take security measures for spam and hackers but this is just a little over kill here. The IP addresses they use are from wdspco.org. At lest in my area. Come on VW where is a tech support that are not sale reps. This feature should be part of the ISP service. It should not be an issue to allow simple port forwarding for the NOC. I know the public IP address is not routable. Its not going to cost more to route.

  • WRT54GS Wireless Router, Port Forwarding, LED Display

    Hello everyone.  I'm using a Linksys router on a network like this:
    I have comcast cable internet using the motorola cable modem that is supplied by them.  This is connected to my Linksys WRT54GS which is then connected to my desktop PC and laptop as well as a Troy500 print server.
    The Troy500 print server is connected to an LED display with a serial cable.  The desktop PC has a logitech webcam on it.
    I was able to setup the webcam to be viewed online, I had to use the web configurator in the router to forward ports 8000 and 8080 to the desktop PC which has a local IP address of 192.168.1.2.  This works fine.
    My Laptop has an address of 192.168.1.3 and I am able to LOCALLY communicate to the Troy and display items on the LED using the laptop AND my desktop.  BUT when I forward ANY outside port to the Troy to try and get this to work remotely through the router I get a communication error.
    Someone suggested that Comcast may be filtering various ports so I tried over 10 different port numbers and still get the same error.
    I then tried to get help from a tech guy I know from florida and he was unable to get to the router through the remote management feature, we used port 9000, 7000, and port 9999, nothing worked to get him in.  ALSO he was unable to ping my outside IP.
    BUT I am able to get online, and I'm able to see all the devices on the router, AND he's able to see the webcam which is using ports 8000 and 8080 to communicate outside.
    Any suggestions?
    Oh, ALSO, nothing on this network is wireless except for the laptop, and this functions just the same when I plug CAT5 into it, it makes no difference.

    first off , make sure that the router has the latest firmware...on the router ui , under the "security" tab , disable "block anonymous internet request" ... check whether these changes make any difference....

  • 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.

  • Port Forwarding to Webcam in LAN

    Hi together
    I have new a OS X Server with OS 10.6.4. Intranet and Internet works fine; I have a static IP.
    Now I have a Webcam in Intranet. How can I reach this Cam from the Internet? I looked for a GUI "Port Forwarding" but couldn't find something like that.
    Could somebody help me? Thanks.
    Regards
    Heramnn

    I assume you're using the OS X Server as a NAT router between intranet and WAN? If so, you have to edit /etc/nat/natd.plist - see pages 127-130 of [http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/NetworkServices_Adminv10.6.pdf] for details.

  • WAG320N port forwarding to wireless client/bridge client

    Hi,
    My network looks like the above diagram:
    1. Wireless bridge connections.
    ADSL Line ==> WAG320N (192.168.1.1) == bridge client mode ==> TP-Link WR941ND (192.168.1.4) ==> Client (192.168.1.11)
    2. Lan connections.
    ADSL Line ==> WAG320N (192.168.1.1) == cable connection ==> Client (192.168.1.100)
    3. Wireless AP conenctions.
    ADSL Line ==> WAG320N (192.168.1.1) == wireless connection ==> Client (192.168.1.106)
    Port forwarding from WAN to LAN (scenario 2) clients works great, but I have problem with wireless clients (scenario 1 and 3). Accessing the wireless destination from LAN is possible. Also pings from WAG320N to the wireless destination looks OK.

    Reset the WAG320N then check if you are getting a valid ip address to know if it is still assigning an ip address to the network. To reset, press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds while the power on. After that, release the button and power off the WAG. Leave it off for 30 seconds then power it back on. Wait for the power light to stop blinking then check if you have a valid ip address with the computer. You may click  the link below on how to check the ip address of the computer:

  • Port forwarding and DMZ refuses to work properly on WRT54G wireless router.

    I have a network setup on the wireless WRT54G version 8 (with latest firmware) router and port forwarding and DMZ refuse to work correctly. I'm trying to use bittorrent and connect my xbox360 to my computer and neither work properly even after setting up port forwarding in the "Applications and Gaming" tab.
    here's a screenshot of my port forwarding page:

    here's a screenshot of the DMZ page (my computer's IP ends in 102 obviously):
    http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/2131/linksys1rf5.jpg
    now, I've experienced this type of problem before. On a different linksys router a year or 2 back I remember the DMZ never working on that one either and I eventually had to buy a d-link router which worked perfectly. I'm only using this wireless router because it's my roommates and he brought it up. Somebody please explain to me why this isn't working correctly. I am becoming more and more frustrated as I lose faith in linksys routers. Thanks

    Did you tired upgrade of the firmware on the router??
    Also after upgrade reset & reconfigure the router for few seconds ... so that the firmware works properly for longer time ....

  • Setting up Time Capsule as primary wireless router and enabling port forwarding

    I am attempting to setup my Time Capsule as the primary router on my wireless network. I have an Actiontec Verizon FIOS router that I am connecting the TC to using ethernet, and I was then going to turn off the wireless function on the Verizon router so that the TC will be the only wireless router. I am not exactly sure how to go about this, and I also have to connect a wireless device to the TC that requires a static IP address and port forwarding enabled so that I can access from my iPhone. I am completely lost on how to do this, any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Unless Verizon has made a major change in the last few days, you will not be able to use the TC as the primary router......simply because it is not possible to configure the Verizon router to act as a simple modem......which is what it must do if you want to have the TC act as the primary router on your network.
    As LaPastenague has explained. turning off the wireless on the Verizon modem/router will not make it a modem.  It will still be a wired modem/router in charge of the network, not allowing the Time Capsule to take over the role of main router for the network.
    But, let's assume that I am wrong. Please check with Verizon support and ask them........
    1) If it is somehow now possible to configure their modem/router to act as a simple bridge mode modem. If they say that this is not possible (or they will not support this).....
    2) Ask them if they can provide you with a simple, bridge mode modem......instead of the modem/router that you have now. A simple modem will have only one Ethernet port, and it will not offer any type of routing or wireless service at all.)

  • Set up a Foscam wireless webcam through BaseStation 7.71 inside and outside of my home network.

    I bought a X10 wireless Security Camera last year and it took me months to figure out how to set it up to access the video both inside my home and through my iPhone remotely, even on my Mac at my office.  I thought I would provide my process of getting this done to help those trying something similar.  Yes the X10 camera works as a Foscam Camera.  I am very happy with the result.  The biggest  challenge was Port Forwarding the Apple Basestation but now that I figured it out, it is easy.
    "How I set up a Foscam wireless webcam through Apple Hardware and software to work inside and outside of my home network seemlessly."
    What you need:
    -Foscam or compatible camera, (iPad or iPhone or Mac or better all three)!
    -Service Provider Router.
    -Apple Base Station, Extreme or Express. 7.71
    -'ip scanner' (software for Mac, app for iPad/iPhone.
    -CCTV Camera pros port scanner app for iPhone.
    First REMOTE ACCESS
    Go to www.dyndns.org and set up an account. For about $20/yr you can have 30 host websites.  Write down the user name and password as you will need it later.
    You need  this service to have a stable website to see your camera outside your network later as 'ip' addresses can change but this site will remain stable.
    Then after you log back in, create a 'host website' from the menu.  When you are creating the host site, dyndns will give you lots of web address choices or you can create your own. Just pick one. Also, you will need the 'ip' of the server where the camera will be. Luckily the dyndns website tells you this, just select it. Write down the web address, click create and you are done this part.
    Next you need to set up the camera.
    CAMERA SET UP
    Using an Ethernet cable, connect your Apple Base Station to your web cam.
    You will need to run 'ip scanner' to see the 'ip' address for the web cam. Write down the 'ip'. Select it, then select "open device in".  Pick browser.
    A web page will be launched and you are given 3 choices. I picked the middle, 'push browser'.  You are then asked for the user name and password for the camera. By default the user is 'administrator' and there is no password. Just click log in. You now will see a menu along the left, at the bottom it should say 'device management'. Select that. Another page will show and there are several important things to do here.
    1. Alias - give a name to the camera.
    2. Set the time from a server.
    3. Users - set a user and password. Write this down as you will need it.
    4. Basic network. Either check to 'Obtain IP from DHCP Server' or specify an IP you want to stay the same. You need the subnet and main DNS server and the Gateway (same thing like 192.168.0.?or 10.0.0.? or 172.16.0.?)
    Decide on a port you want use. Write this down. The camera will reboot, you will need to log in. In the browser enter IP then : the port#.  Like 192.168.0.?:80 you will need the camera user name and password.
    5. Wireless-scan for the nearby network list. Pick your network, enter your password, click submit. It will reboot.
    6. UPnP-check to use.
    7. DDNS Service (this allows remote viewing) pick DynDns.org
    Enter your DynDns user name and password.
    Enter the long DynDns Host website you wrote down. Click Submit. It will reboot. 
    APPLE Basestation set up
    Run Airport Utility on Mac or iPad or iPhone.
    Tap basestation, tap edit, tap advanced, tap Port Settings, tap 'new entry', in description enter a name, enter HTTP port number you picked when setting up the camera in all 4 spots: public and private UDP and TCP. Enter the IP address you picked in the camera setup. Click done and again until the Basestation updates.
    Run the CCTV app, pick 'tools', pick 'Port forwarding Checker'. Enter the port you selected to see if it shows open then you are good. If not go back through the steps.
    Set up Foscam App on the iPad and iPhone.
    Run App, tap Add Camera,
    Label- enter a name
    User- Camera user name
    Password- Camera
    Local camera address-the IP address eg 192.168.0.?
    Port- the one you specified.
    If it connects you will see the chain turn green.
    Remote address- the long one from DynDns.
    Port- the one you specified.
    If it connects you will see the chain turn green.
    Tap done.
    If everything is entered correctly it will all work.
    Trouble shooting, make sure the IP address for the camera is listed correctly in the Apple Router.  If it changes on the network, just go into the Airport Utility and update that.  Also make sure the dyndns address is correctly listed in the Camera set up.
    If questions, just let me know.

    Ok.. you have to work out the way you are going to access the TC..
    There are basically three methods..
    1. Direct access using AFP.. you need a static public IP and the TC as the main internet router.. then you need to turn on internet access and password the hard disk. The college has to have port 548 open.
    If you do not have a static public IP then you can use ddns service but there is no client in the TC.. so you will have to figure out a way to update the service.
    2. Use BTMM with icloud. This is the Apple method. It actually uses vpn..(the vpn is locked to apple use only but it is not available to end user).. The requirements are 7.6.1 firmware and lion or ML on a Mac computer. I am not sure of the ports because the link to the Apple cloud is separate from the vpn to your home system.
    3. VPN.. that means you need to bridge the TC and use a decent quality vpn modem / router or combo thereof.
    VPN are not for the faint of heart.. it can take a lot of work to get running but offers the best security.. you will need to change the network equipment in your house more than likely.. using a pc / mac as a vpn server is possible.. but messy.
    There are also easy ways to at least access the home computer.. teamviewer for example. This is likely blocked by the college though.
    Double NAT is where you put a router on a private IP behind another router on a private IP.. that makes port forwarding close to impossible.

  • EvoCam & Port Forwarding

    Hi All
    I have set up EvoCam built in web server so that i can remotely access the iSight cam over the net.
    Because I run over a router with a firewall in it the address of the camera is http://192.168.1.3:8080/webcam.html.
    Therefore, I think I need to get involved with port forwarding. How do I do this and what are the implications given that my ISP allocates IP addresses each time I log onto the network.
    (A step by step guide re the port forwarding would be appreciated. I have a BT Voyager 2100 wireless router. The images from the camera stream to Safari locally OK).
    TIA
    David
    PS I there likely to be any conflict with iChat or any other app regard the use of port 8080 or should I select another port altogether?

    For a good start at all you want to know about port forwarding, see:
      http://www.portforward.com/
    Once you understand the "Start Here" info, move on to the Port Forwarding for the BT Voyager 2100 Router page.
    As you will see there, you need a static IP address to setup port forwarding on your router. If EvoCam's Help cannot off you any useable alternatives to port forwarding, contact your ISP to find out how to obtain a static IP address.

  • Port Forwarding Issues with WVC210

    Hi, 
    I have just purchased a WVC210 and had managed to setup the IP Camera to view internally through either Wired or Wireless at the IP address of 192.168.1.152:1024.
    However, I am not able to set up the IP Camera for remote web viewing. My last attempt stopped at the point where I can remotely access my router admin login when typing the dyndns domain name I had created (e.g.  myhomexxx.dyndns.biz).
    The road  to  Cameera seems so near yet so far... Can someone help me out to see is my port forwarding is done correctly. I had tried on two different models of modem/routers and both don't seem to work and the vendor support blame it on compatbility issues and ask me to check with linksys:
    This is what displayed on a Shiro modem/rounter :
    Application :  WebCamera (user defined)
    Protocol : TCP,UDP
    Source IP/Mask:   192.168.1.152 / 255.255.255.0
    Destination IP/Mask:  192.168.1.152 / 255.255.255.255
    Port Start / Port End:   1024 / 1024
    Port Map: 80
    Can someone help/tell me if I doing the right port forwarding values....  my modem/router IP is 192.168.1.1
    thanks,

  • How do you set up Port Forwarding for ARD 2.2 in AEB N?

    Help,
    I'm a novice at Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) - not an IT guy, so it has to be pretty basic and detailed.
    How do you set up Port Forwarding for ARD 2.2 on the Apple Airport Extreme BS router, 802.11 N. I have one at each end of the internet connection. At one end I have an Airport Extreme N router with 2 macs and eventually 1 windows XP machine (if I can) that I would like to be able to connect to over the interenet (the clients) and at the other end, I have a Mac with ARD 2.2 installed also with an Airport Extreme N router. Note: Both routers use Static IP addresses and all computers use static IP's internally not through DHCP. What are the settings or directions to do this.
    I have read and printed out the directions for Configuration of ARD 3.0 that are posted many times in the ARD discusion group, but it uses a Linksys router ( http://www.starkpr.com/ard.htm posted by Dave Sawyer). The Mac router is different, particularly with the place to set a Private IP address. I'm not sure about alot of things, but especially about the Private IP address, what number do I set it to, the one that is in my Network connections list? It automatically changes to a different number in AE N setup for Port Forwarding (by one) as if it is not suppose to the same?????
    Are there any directions available that are as straight forward for the Airport Extreme N router, as the one's that are listed here for the Linksys Router's? ( http://www.starkpr.com/ard.htm )
    Any and All help will be greatly appreciated.
    P.S. I know I should have 3.0 but bought 2.2 just weeks before 3.0 came out and they would not give me an upgrade price, so I'm waiting for 4.0 to upgrade.
    Thanks,
    Jim

  • How to set up port forwarding on extreme with NAS

    I've purchased a NAS (Synology DS211j with 2 caviar HD) over a month ago. Setting up the NAS for wireless connection locally was easy. I've been trying for 3 weeks on how to set-up port forwarding on my airport extreme base. I''ve researched and read countless threads on port forwarding and still cannot grasp the concept and the step by step provided.  I need somebody that's patient enough to hand hold and guide me through this frustrating problem.

  • Can anyone tell me how to port forward and setup an XBOX 360 using my Time Capsule??

    Xbox 360
    When playing the game online, the minimum speed of your network should be 128kbps. The ideal network speed for playing the game online is 768kbps. If you are having a problems with lag check the following:
    Network Troubleshooting:
    Disable any firewall or security features on your router.
    Set port forwarding on your router to the IP address of your Xbox 360. This game uses port 3074 (UDP/TCP). Additionally Xbox LIVE requires ports 80, 53 TCP and 88, 53 UDP.
    Place your Xbox 360 into the DMZ of your router.
    Disconnect your router and try the game. If it works regularly at this point something about your router may not be completely compatible with the specific needs of this game. Check with your router manufacturer and Microsoft's Xbox Live Connection Issues page for additional steps that may need to be done to resolve the issue you are having. You can also verify that you have an Xbox Live compatible router.
    If you are having issues connecting while multiple Xbox 360 consoles are connected on the same network, try forwarding port 3074 (UDP/TCP) for one Xbox 360 and setting the other as DMZ. There is a chance that this may not resolve you issue,  if it doesn’t then you may want to consider getting an additional public IP address by contacting your Internet Service Provider and assigning it to one of these two consoles.
    NOTE: If setting port forwarding or DMZ helps your connection issue, you may want to assign your Xbox 360 a static IP address within your home network. This can help to ensure that the configurations you made do not need to be done again. You can visit PortForward's Static IP Guide for a detailed guide on how to do this.
    NOTE: Many broadband internet modems are coming with routing capabilities built in. Please contact your internet service provider to determine if your internet modem has an integrated router. If it does, they should be able to assist you with the steps above for setting up your router.
    Once you have verified that your network setup is not the cause of the issue, try the following:
    Try connecting to a different server. Some servers may have other players connected to them that you do not have an optimal connection with. In most games this is accomplished by backing out to the main menu and then selecting multiplayer again. From there you can try connecting to another online game.
    Run the Xbox Network Self Test to see how strong your NAT is currently set to. Once the test is completed you will be notified if there is an issue with your connection. If you select "More Info" you will be given information about your NAT type and some steps to resolve any issues with your connection.
    Moderate and Strict NAT types may have issues connecting to online matches. You may get the error "Notice - The game session is no longer available." If you do then enabling UPnP, forwarding port 3074, or placing your Xbox in your router's DMZ may resolve this issue. Please consult your router documentation for instructions on how to do this.

    Whoa....this just went way over my head.... I already have 6.1 installed for my Airport Utility.
    Read again what I wrote.. 6.1 is the problem.. or part of it.
    You need to install the earlier 5.6 version which I have given you explicit instructions to do.
    I have done something now and can not connect the XBOX at all now....unless you can provide me step by step directions I may have to call Apple Support.
    This will happen over and over.. just press reset and start again.. you need to learn how to do the setup and using 5.6 utility will help you.. as will using ethernet from the computer to the TC.. trying to fix things over wireless is like sitting on a tree branch you are sawing off. As soon as you update you will fall to the ground.
    I am not that sure that Apple Support will have any idea.
    Do a google search .. you will find most people struggle with this.. Microsoft made the xbox to use upnp with vista specs.. if you use a router without upnp, ie any apple router.. you will have issues.
    Have a go at bypassing the problem.. I have no idea if this will work.. I do not use a TC as the main router because much of my network including xbox and ps3 is just a pain.. I use a modem router with upnp. And bridge the TC.. that is the setup I would recommend.
    Try this.. once you have installed 5.6 utility.
    Get the IP of the XBox and click enable default host.. and put the IP address in there.. this is called DMZ.. all unassigned packets are forwarded to this ip address.. it is like a port forwarding for all ports.
    See if it helps.. If it does you will need to lock the xbox address so it doesn't change.. we can get to that.
    Tell me what kind of broadband you have and what modem router first.. none of this will work if you have double NAT.

  • How do I configure for port forwarding?

    I just relpaced my CISCO E3000 wireless router with an Apple Airport Extreme and need to set up port forwarding.  I find the Airport Utility confusing and very limited in capabilities.  How do I configure the router for Port Forwarding?

    Here's a document that you can follow:  https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3415
    However, I ran into an issue with setting this up and had to do a work-around: Custom Port Forwarding Config Not Working
