Port Forwarding

This is the 2nd step of the Port Forwarding, click here to get to the beginning of the manual. There are currently three different Speedport WebUIs in use, please find yours below:

Telekom Speedport Hybrid

Open the WebUI of your Speedport router by typing its IP-Address in your browser (by default: 192.168.2.1). (The default password of the router you can find on the sticker on its backside.)

In the menu choose Internet and then Portfreischaltung. Open the menu under Port-Umleitungen und Port-Weiterleitungen, there you apply the following settings:

Parameter
Description
Name der UmleitungChoose a name for your camera, for example Camera Entrance
Gilt für folgendes GerätHere you first have to pick your camera from the list. You can check under Heimnetzwerk, if the name belongs to the right IP-address of your camera.
TCPHere in the first and third array enter 8081.

Portforwarding AVM Fritzbox

By clicking on speichern, the settings will be applied.

To be able to access the Flash-Video as well, there has to be set a second Port Forwarding. Therefore, just follow the manual of this step, with the only difference to set the Flash-Port instead. So for your first camera all ports are set to 1935, for your second camera it´s 1936, etc.

Now all Port Forwardings for your camera are set in the router. You can now continue with the next step, therefore follow this Link:

Attention:

Port forwarding can be tested, for example, with the Fritzbox from your own network. However, there are routers that do not support access via DDNS address on the computer in the local network (some models of the Telekom Speedport). This means that you may have to try access via a computer in another network, alternatively you can also test it with your smartphone via the mobile network.

Caution

Whereas it is possible to test the DDNS access in a FritzBox of the same network, there are routers such as the Telekom Speedports which can deny the test. This means you would have to use a computer in another network, or alternatively test the DDNS-Access by using the mobile network on your smartphone.
