Camera Connectivity Question

[JustinGr]

I have the local URL working with my DLink 930L, it is 192.168.1.17/video/mjpg.cgi . I have the dyndns setup for the controller on port 80 of my router and it works and has for a while remotely. I have an entry in my Netgear router to forward traffic on port 80 to the internal IP that is the Apex.

I added port forward for port 8081 to internal 192.168.1.17 (camera), but now what? How do I program the code into the camera widget within the Apex configuration utility.

Http://dyndns-hostname:8081/video/mjpg.cgi

Add the above as the Remote URL

Like this -

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8081/video/mjpg.cgi

The x's represent your Public IP address (the one that your Internet provider assigned you).

Not sure if your router will NAT the 8081 traffic back to 80 at the camera, if you still have problems set the camera to answer on Port 8081 also, once you do that you will have to adjust your local address to use the same port even though it's internal (http://192.168.1.17:8081/video/mjpg.cgi) Remember you will always need to supply the port number after the IP address from then on.

Hope that helps.

Thanks all! Looks like the camera utility was on 80 and that was causing the issue, it was listening on the wrong port. Changed it on mydlink and it worked!
