Firewall - Port Forwarding - CCTV

[Anonymous]

Hello All,

I apologise if I am posting this onto the wrong forum - if I have, would the Mods please move this to the correct forum?

I have installed a CCTV system and have forwarded all the necessary ports in order for me to view the CCTV remotely but . . . . I cannot view the cameras on my O2 mobile under the Data Mode.

I can view the CCTV over the WiFi but when I switch to Data mode using my computer's external IP address, I keep getting trying to connect but no picture.

I have made sure that the port is open by using canyouseeme.org.

Do I need to create an exception or rule in the firewall settings?

I have been trying to access the cameras remotely for a week now and am stumped!

Any help or advice will be truly appreciated.

could be local cell congestion if you can run the mynetwork app from o2 trythat and its speedteset.

Do that when ever it will not connect and it might prove it needs a certain bandwith

Hello Adam,

Very nice app . . . . I like it, thank you.

On WiFi I am getting 8.5 on download speed . . upload 0.95 . . response time 110ms.

On mobile data, I am getting 4.5 on download speed, upload 1.54 and response time 51ms.

The strange thing, for the first time in two weeks, I have actually been able to view the CCTV at home on the mobile data. . . . I tried it after I did the speed test on mobile data.

This is really weird. I have not changed any setting or apps or done anything differently to what I did before.

there could have been a local issue.

now you have that app if it is bad you can report faults when you next are in an area with signal / wifi.

lets hope it all works for you now.

Hey Toby,

Sorry . . . . I forgot to thank you as well . . . you pointed me in the right direction without which I would still be running around like a headless chicken . . . .

Thank you kindly as well Toby.

Err I might come back with other questions . . . .

Watch this space . . . .
