i have got some help trying to get some ip cameras to be seen on the tiny cam app and with help from a few i got them to go at home but they just will not show away from home. so this is what i have to find out to make sure i'm doing it correctly.

the 2 cameras that are giving my fits are suppose to be onvif cameras some say they are not. but when i run a scan tinycam says they are onvif. the nvr says they are port 8080 tiny cam say 1600 but i guess i'm just stumped at this point.
so how do you port forward correctly?

if i just go into the router and say do an ftp as that is what it starts out with and the add the ip and then do tcp/udp so i have both covered, or do i have to do let say one cam is x.x.x.24 and 8080 port can i just do ftp tcp/udp 8080 and that is it or do i have to do one for rtsp 554 also.

my route only lets me do 1 ip address with 1 port. i can't do 554 with the x.x.24 and then 8080 x.x.x.24

i have 5 other neo coolcam i[ cameras the i have given each there own port and tinycam see them perfect. but these so called onvif cams will not work outside the home. what am i doing wrong? is there any goo you tubes that show just how do hook these cameras up? on the router? i have watched a ton of them and tried to follow the lesons and it is just not working.

i do not need then to hook up to the nvr that was just so i could record i need them so i can see things when i gone.

also when i have them working on the app at home and i try to see them away they then stop working when i get home. so i'm really confused why.

what i guess i need to do is try to get more neocool cam units if i can find any they work perfect. thanks

Please. Do. Not. Continu. Please. Do. Never. Ever. Even. Think. About. Portforwarding. Ever. Please!

If they run through the NVR, you won't be able to access them remotely using tinycam. Use the app for your NVR.

i get them on the nvr but not steady the whole reason i got the nvr was to record the cameras, it looks like that is not going to happen and tinycam is on ond off with them. so it looks like i got taken for a rie on this setup. no one has an answer. alex does not help much either, might be he can't the reason i use tinycam is so i do not have to use half dozen different apps.

i get tinycam to work and then the next time i try to use it away then when i get back the cams fail. so i'm going to setup a dvr that is wired to analog cams of which i have a bunch of spares and just ue them. they have worked flawlessly for years. i'm done with the nvr setup. they are going onebay tomorrow so i can get something back for them. and then i will be done with this messing around with people telling me that work and i find out they don't. so don't waste your money.

For ONVIF cameras you need to forward both ONVIF and RTSP port.
