home security camera guide
How to view my home security camera outside of my home network?
I've set up the camera and can view the output on my home network by logging on to Internet Explorer and going to the address in the operating manual. However, since I used the log in address in the users manual, I'm assuming everyone else is using the same address SO I'm guessing that I'm viewing this on my home network and not on the broader internet. When I try to log on outside my home network I'm guessing this won't work. The security camera sales guide says the output will be viewable on a smart phone while traveling, but the users manual doesn't go into any detail. Any guidance would be appreciated. I'm using a WVC210 Cisco if that helps...
usually, you have to port forward the viewing port (sometimes port 80), to the camera on your router, to pass the viewing capacity to the "outside" world....
Check the manuals again, there has to be specific instructions... You will have to know your public Ip to connect from the outside world...
