Accessing Camera from IPhone

fetster · Post by **fetster** » Sat Jun 30, 2012 9:34 pm

Hi I used to be able to view my cameras using the LiveCams Iphone App but I deleted the settings some time ago and can not remember how to set them up.

I have a static IP and my router is set to forward port 1024 to the local IP of the camera.

Does anybody know what profile to use and what the URL ends in?

Many thanks

I'm not sure what you mean by profile, but I usually use the motion JPEG stream, which is:

Code: Select all

http://<ip>/img/mjpeg.cgi

Hope that helps!

What exactly do you mean by "work on your iPhone"? Are you after viewing the image remotely or at home? You mention your router, so I'm guessing you're after viewing the images directly from the camera while you're out of the house.

You would need to make sure your password on the camera is good (because you'd be opening it up to the world) and then you could use port redirection on your router to point port 80 (that's HTTP or 'unencrypted web traffic') to the camera. That way, when you type your home IP address in a web browser (like Safari on the iPhone) your request will be sent to the camera. You will need to consult your routers' documentation for setting up the port redirection and you'll need to know the internal IP of the camera. You'll also need to know your external IP so you know where your home network is on the Internet. That external IP may vary, in which case you would also need a dynamic DNS service (Google it if you're not sure what that is) configured on your router so you always know where to reach your home.

Hi. Thanks for reply.

I have set up the router as per website http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/webcams/how-t ... -50005383/ but this just let's me access the camera setup page but I want to use an app on my iphone so I can see a live stream.

The app asks for a host which I'm guessing is username.dyndns-free.com
Port: not sure of
Username: not sure of
Password: not sure of

Hopefully you understand what I mean and can help?
