Making the Wansview RTSP Link Public and Accessible

To view your camera's RTSP stream from outside your network, you need to configure port forwarding on your router/firewall. Follow these steps:

---

Step 1: Determine Your Camera's IP Address

• Use the camera's app or check your router's DHCP table to find the IP address assigned to the camera.

---

Step 2: Access Your Router's Interface

• Open a web browser and enter your router's IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1).

• If you're unsure, consult your router's manual or the manufacturer's website.

---

Step 3: Login to Your Router

• Enter your router's username and password.

• If you don’t know your credentials, check the router's manual or contact your ISP for assistance.

---

Step 4: Find Port Forwarding Settings

• Look for 'Port Forwarding' or 'Virtual Server' in the router settings. The exact location and naming vary depending on your router model.

---

Step 5: Create a New Port Forwarding Rule

• Specify the following details for the new rule:

  • External Port: Choose an available port (e.g., 558, 559, 560). Avoid using port 554, as some ISPs block it.

  • Internal IP Address: Enter the camera’s IP address found in Step 1.

  • Internal Port: Use the port for the camera’s RTSP stream (e.g., 558, 559).

  • Protocol: Select TCP, UDP, or both.

---

Step 6: Save and Apply Settings

• Save and apply the changes. If required, manually reboot the router.

---

Step 7: Verify Port Forwarding

• Visit Port Checker to confirm the port is properly forwarded.

---

Step 8: Find Your Public IP Address

• Visit What Is My IP from the same network as your camera to find your public IP address.

---

Step 9: Update Your RTSP URL

• Replace the internal IP address in your RTSP URL with your public IP address. Example:

  rtsp://admin:111111@your-public-ip-address:559/live/ch0

---

Step 10: Set Up Dynamic DNS (DDNS)

If your public IP address changes frequently, use a Dynamic DNS (DDNS) service to maintain a consistent address.

1. Set up a DDNS service such as No-IP. (How to set up No-IP)
2. Update your router’s settings to automatically sync with your DDNS service.

3. Replace the public IP address in your RTSP URL with your DDNS address: Example:

   rtsp://admin:[e-mail]:559/live/ch0
