If you want to access your cameras away from your network, you'll need to set up port forwarding for each camera. First step is to set up the cameras with unique static IP addresses and unique HTTP ports. Make sure you assign IP addresses outside the DHCP range the router is assigning IP addresses. For ports, I usually start at 1500 and the go to 1501, 1502,...

Next, you will go to you router and set up port forwarding for each camera. Forward both TCP & UDP. If you tell me your router make and model, I can help or you can go to http://www.portforward.com.

Lastly, to access the cameras away from your network, you'll need to know your public IP address. Go to http://www.whatismyip.com for that. When you're all finished, you'll access the camera by <public IP>:<port>. Something like 73.161.9.29:1500

I hope this helps.

Does Amcrest still provide amcrestddns.com service? whatismyip will work great for today but the ISP will frequently change my router's IP.

I use DYN so I don't know about Amcrest's DDNS. However, I don't know of an ISP that changes IP addresses frequently. I think my IP here at home has been the same for over a year now but you are correct, a DDNS service would be better.

Bmac, where are you located? PM me your email address and I'll send you detailed instructions.
