Goal: To watch the camera remotely via Internet.
(You maybe think this problem is sufficient covered in various forums, but really, I can't seem to get it right.)
Camera is MySmartCamera, an IP and WiFi camera. This camera comes in various versions, but to see which I have: This is the one.
As long as I am on the same router, the real-time video works on my iPhone (app = p2pCameraViewer) and PC (software = SYSM Monitor). Win7 Home Premium 64bit. I can also see the camera on iPad and an old tablet running Android.
When I type in the ip-adress of the camera in my browser, the browser says This page is not available, and IP-adress is rejected... It tells me to check things, let the browser through the Firewall, and about proxy.
The same result from Google Chrome, Opera and Internet Explorer.
I'm using router D-link DIR-615, but also tried on ZyXEL P-2812HNU-F3. I'm now focusing on the DIR-615, because it seems a bit more user friendly in the setup.
I've tried to read about port forwarding, and tried to follow how-to's and video's about this. No luck. Also the page http://arllc.net/findipcam/ recommended to change the IP-adress of the router from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1, because "some ip cameras have default ip address, like 192.168.1.178. If your router's ip address is not 192.168.1.x, then you are in trouble. oh, no. but you still have chance. Basically, you need to configure your router so it's ip address is 192.168.1.1." (So I did.)
Also tried to use another router.
What am I missing? Why can't I get the camera viewed in my browser? I guess this is the key to get further in getting it forwarded, so I can watch the camera from the Internet, e.g. from my office.
I really would like to see a guide for dummies on this issue. I mean: Is there a spesific port I should use? I've read the guides for port's carefully. The guides usually shows how to connect to online gaming, but this?
I really need the step by step guide for IP camera for dummies here. I feel I'm sooo close. The yet, so far away.
