if this is a dahua camera, you are forwarding the wrong port..you need to forward the rtsp port..Hi All,
I have opened up on my xfinity router port 80 but for some reason port 37777 (which I think I need) will not open. I am trying to access the camera remotely using Blueiris.I do not have a NVR on the system yet and this is my first try at it. Any assistance will be appreciated.
:unsure:
all you need to forward is the rtsp port, 554...sorry its a hikvision
yes...I appreciate the help so use port 554? sorry new to this whole thing
Try doing all your testing from home with your smartphone.
Connect phone to wifi, enter local address into your app of choice. Once that is working, disconnect wifi and use cellular data. Change the app credentials to use external address (whatsmyip.com from wifi) or DDNS address of you have one.

I know when I had ports open on my router, I need to type them in and hit save and then saw the status bar going from 1-100% and then it was done. Are you saving the settings correctly in the router when you enter that port number?I looked at it and I should enter that in my router? the router did not take it? sorry my first camera
