Hi Everyone,
I am from Australia and have been trying to get my IP camera working remotely on the Telstra 4G network for a few days and it is starting to drive me crazy.
The plan is to have the camera monitor my gate remotely so I can log in and view it using my mobile phone.
I have a Dahua 3MP camera model number DH-IPC-HDBW1320EP
I have set it up on my home router with using a DDNS account and port forwarding and it works great. I can connect to it fine and there are no issues.
I bought a D-Link DWR-921 4G/LTE router and spent a few hours trying to get the port forwarding to work . On this router port forwarding is called a virtual server. After not being able to get it to work I contacted D Link support to be told that this model does not support Port Forwarding (virtual server) when used as a 4G/LTE router. I really wish the manual had said that so save me wasting my time.
So I bought a Dovado Tiny AC and plugged a Telstra USB modem into it. They look like a really good little device.
I setup the Port Forwarding and DDNS settings exactly as I had done on my home Router as I know this works fine.
I tried to connect to my camera using the app on my phone as I have done previously and it didn't work.
I checked my Port Forward connection and it is not getting through using the Dovado and Telstra modem.
I checked the IP in the router config and then checked what it is on the internet and they show the same address so I know I know I am getting through properly.
It has left me scratching my head a little.
I know telstra in some cases will limit port forwarding capabilities on the 4G network so I rang them and the lady who answered really didn't seem to know what Port Forwarding was and said it should work.
So I am stuck a little and thought I would ask the experts.
Has anyone used a telstra pre paid sim in a 4g/lte router and successfully port forward a server or ip camera?
I would be interested to hear what you have done differently to get it to work.
Is there any other brands of 4G/LTE routers that you have used that have worked fine for port forwarding?
I look forward to hearing your comments. Thanks.
