CASE 2: Assigning ports manually

In this case what we have here is:
1 Public IP Address 210.20.35.163, assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP), but we will be using Port 9999 for accessing the camera from the Internet.
1 PiXORD Camera, with a local IP of 192.168.1.21, using port 9999 to get access to the camera through the Local Network
1 Broadband router
Since we are sharing only one single Internet connection through our Local Network, the Port Forwarding configuration in our Broadband Router for the camera will be as follows:
Private IP |
Private Port |
Type |
Public Port |
192.168.1.21 |
9999 |
|
9999 |
In this case we are using Port 9999 for the PiXORD Camera at 192.168.1.21, and using Port 9999 for the Internet access at 210.20.35.163.
When we are in a remote location, in order to access our camera through Internet, we have to specify the Public Port when typing the Public IP Address as the figure below:
Note that if changes are made to the port assignation, some configurations at the PiXORD Camera also have to be changed, such as Network and DDNS settings.
