IP Camera's and Internet

[tcviper 20]

Hello all,

 

I've got my AXIS cams working on the HC2 Fibaro, picture and image is very stable and clear however when I try to view the camera feed when not on LAN, it displays a disconnected image. The Fibaro HC2 works perfectly fine itself over internet.

Do I specifically need to enable something for this to work when not at home (so when I browse via the Fibaro app on the iphone to my cams at home)?

 

Thank you

I guess it is using the local ip-address, so not reachable from the outside. You could use a portfoward and use that in the settings of the camera, but not really secure... Other solution is to use your own vpn (eq openvpn on a rpi).

@tcviper there are other posts on this topic, It look like there is issues with the remote fibaro (home.fibaro.com) via the app.  For me I get it to occasionally work as long as I exit the app before switching from lan to remote.  

 

But it is hit and miss for me so far

Do you have fast internet connection (upload) from your home?

If not, it can be the MJPEG that is taking too much bandwidth.

 

i have great quality from my cams when im inside LAN (Both from App and browser).

The fps is around 20 but when im trying to connect outside LAN, fps is < 5, and i usually just get a quick "screenshot" from my cams and then a disconnected image.

 

I have 0.8Mbit UL so im not surprised..

Yes I have 40mbit/s upload, so that shouldnt be the problem. Also when i look at the camera's through Synology they work fine

I dont want to open ports directly to the camera's, that is not really secure.
