Hello
I'm a new Member and i paied tinycam rpo. So i added my cameras from local network in the app. I will use the app on my tablet and fix it on the wall in my living room. so i can yous it as "visitor-cam" or
intercom.
I want to use the camera out of local network too. for e.g. on my smartphone.
How can i do this?
should i install on my phone tinycam too and create a camera by the ddns hostname:port?

So i create a ddns domain. Now i want to know, what's the best way.

In future i want to create a vpn client...... but at the moment i don't have it.

Thank you very much
best regards
 
Although the VPN is the way to go and I do NOT recommend port forwarding, in the FAQ section of the TinyCam web site are instuctions under #3:

3. I cannot access my cams from mobile network, but they work with local WiFi connection. What are the required steps to enable broadcasting?​

You need to setup port forwarding on your router. Port forwarding forwards all traffic from your private camera to external network, e.g. from 192.168.0.3:8080 to your_external_ip:8080. Read the router manual for how to do that or contact your system network administrator. Enter your external IP address and port number in tinyCam Monitor when you've done.​
​
You can also use a free step-by-step tutorial from portforward.com. Use canyouseeme.org to check if port forwarding done properly.​
​
Usually DSL connections renew their IP addresses after 24 hours. Use DDNS service to get fixed domain name, e.g. free noip.com.​

BTW, TinyCam has its own section on IPCT here. :cool:
 
I have a ddns and i tested it before i worte this post.

In my router i set the dnns settings and the ports. For exmaple port: 90

where did i need to setup the ddns hostdomain and the port?

I found:
Hostname/Ip-Adresse
Web Port-Number (default 80)
RTSP port

If i go to exadvance setting, on the bootm of the camera setting, i get another position for refresh IP, Hostname remote, Web-Port Remote, RTSP Remote

where should i set the ddns ip, first side or advance settings?
