2 Amcrest 841 Ipcams behind an asus router

[Baud]

I can access my ip cameras fine from inside thd network but can only view one over 4g. This is way too confuzing. I set up static ips for both cameras then set up port forwarding 192.1.1.112 port 80 and 192.1681.171 port 37777. What am i missing here? If i point my ip camera app to my static home ip address xx.xxx.xxx.xx i should be able to see both camers right? The difference being which port i connect to? Please advise. Thanks

Hello,
You should forward the HTTP,TCP and UDP ports of the camera. Since you have two cameras and they would be using the same public IP of yours, you will need to change the ports on one of the cameras and forward the new ports.

So it sounds like you have two cameras with the addresses 192.1.1.112 and 192.168.1.171 correct?

IF that is the case what you need to do depends on if you want to access the camera through the app on your phone/tablet or a web browser. The app uses port 37777 and the browser would use either port 80 or 443.

You need to find out your real IP address if you type into google what is my ip address

The first search result will look like:

108.50.1.200
Your public IP address

That is the address you need to use when you are outside you home network

So you have to pick different ports to use for each camera from the outside

Example if you want to connect to 192.1.1.112 using the app so port 37777

You would create port forward entry for your public ip address say 108.50.1.200 port 47777 to map to 192.1.1.112 port 37777
for the second ip address you would map from 108.50.1.200 port 4778 to 192.168.1.171 port 37777

So if you connect to 108.50.1.200 on port 47777 you got the first webcam 192.1.1.112 and if you connect on 108.50.1.200 on port 4778 you go to the second webcam (using the app)

You create an entry for each camera/port combination you want to us. So if you wanted to connect using the web browser
You would create port forward entry for your public ip address say 108.50.1.200 port 8080 to map to 192.1.1.112 port 80
You would create port forward entry for your public ip address say 108.50.1.200 port 8081 to map to 192.168.1.200 port 80

Note it might be better to post port 443 and SSL so your login/password is encrypted.

For more help

You can google using - setting up webcam port forwarding comcast (or use your provider in place of comcast) most of them have guides

OR google using - setting up webcam port forwarding asus

You should get a bunch links this one looked good

Awesome thanks for all the help guys. It works now. I just need to set up ssl as you suggested

Ok so since my router cant have duplicate ports assigned to each device how do I set up a secure port for my second camera? I used 443 for my first camera.

[bjp]

The external and internal ports don't have to match. So you could set port 8443 coming from the outside to map to 443 on the second camera - look at my examples.

[Oendaril]

You can really use any port for ssl on the https page, it'd just be accessed like https://ip:port/ ; I believe that since you defined the right tcp/udp ports on the camera without changing those the connection should still be able to then access the video feeds.

So, you could do something like 4431 as the port and then designate the local port as 443. It'll take a request from your outside connection at 4431 and then send it to your ip camera at its ssl port.

Edit: ^^ doh, beaten

Great. You guys are a wealth of information! Thanks again
