logging into my camera.

[dennisoates]

My camera that is located in michigan quit working. I am in Florida , the camera shows up as active when I log into the router. i am using a DYN-dns to log into the cameras . the camera is hard wired to the router. I have rebooted the router and had my neighbor turn power off and back on again. I cant use the ip camera finder from Foscam, as I don't have a computer at that location, only the router. Any tips on how i can log into this camera and get it working ? It is the camera that monitors the temperature. i am able to log into my other camera using my dyndns name and port. the ports are forwarded
thanks

If the router has vpn you can enable it and it will be as though your are on that network...or forward the ports...

I logged into the router and noticed the ip number on the port forward was not the exact as the camera, i changed the 2 digits and now its working, don't know why those numbers changed but anyway its fixed

because you didnt set dhcp reservation or static ip for the camera...it will keep happening.
