Unable to retrieve RTSP streams from external networks.
Unable to retrieve RTSP streams from external networks.
You’re facing an issue with accessing your RTSP stream from outside your local network. The problem likely lies in how the IP address and port configuration are being handled. Make sure you’re using the correct public IP and port as specified, and verify that your router forwards the right ports. Also, double-check that the password you use matches what’s configured on the camera. If you’re still having trouble, try testing from another device or network to rule out local restrictions.
The setup appears accurate. The device restricts incoming requests from outside IP addresses for safety. I wouldn't expose these streams publicly for the same security reasons. Consider creating a VPN server, joining it, and then connecting to the internal network instead.
It wasn't the cameras that caused the problem—it was the router. For anyone facing the same issue: it looks like my TP-Link Archer C80 was interfering with RTSP traffic, at least according to what I saw. I checked the web interface → Security → ALG and turned off the RTSP algorithm. The issue was resolved. Your tip was helpful; setting up a Wireguard tunnel could definitely help with privacy concerns. In my case, it's just an RTSP stream targeting a traffic light near my home, so I wasn't worried about anyone monitoring it.
I just created an account to express my gratitude. It seems I overlooked the RTSP configuration, but you prevented a lot of hassle. I understood it wasn’t about the cameras—I could see them on my local network. The issue must have been with the router. Thank you very much.
