IP2M-841 External https does not work

Post by 20gauge »

Firmware V2.520.AC00.18.R 6/29/17

Camera will reach login, but video stream displays "Resources are limited..." message. I cannot access the main stream or substream from remote apps either. All of my Foscam's can do this.

Is there any plan to fix this? I will be returning this camera if not. I do not wish to use the cloud service. I bought this camera because https functionality was touted, but it simply does not allow an https video stream from external access.

Is this broken with all Amcrest cameras? Do I need to go back to Foscam?

If you are accessing it remotely, make sure that you forwarded all the ports it listed. And when you forward them make sure that internal and external ports are 1:1. (ie don't forward internal port tcp/443 to external tcp/1443.)

If you want to use different ports from the default, change them in the camera and then forward them in your router.

I understand how to deal with NAT traversal, and I have done this with dozens of other cameras. This is not a networking issue, this is an issue with this specific camera. It was dropped into, and configured on the same IP address and port as a previously working Foscam. The port(s) are forwarded properly.
