Viewing your camera from a Remote Location

 

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.
