Can you port forward through 2 routers?
On the second router, you must do port forwarding. The ports you open are the same as the ones you opened on the first router. However, instead of the recorder’s IP address, you use the first router’s IP address for port forwarding on the second router.
What if 2 routers have the same IP address?
You have to avoid the situation of having two devices with the same IP addresses within one network. For example, if the main router has the IP address 192.168. 0.1, and the other router also has the address 192.168. 0.1, the two addresses will be in conflict.
Can two cameras have the same IP address?
In a surveillance system, if two IP cameras have the same IP address, the live streaming source of one channel will switch between the two cameras. In this situation, the monitoring screen sometimes will show ‘no network video’.
Can two routers have same public IP?
As I understand it, two computers cannot have the same public (external) IP address unless they are connected via the same router. If they are connected via the same router, then they can have (share) the same public IP address yet have different private (local) IP addresses.
How do you port forward a router to another router?
This is called Port Forwarding.
- Step 1: Login to your router via the default gateway address.
- Step 2: Enter your router credentials into the login page.
- Device Username Password.
- Step 3: Next, locate the port forwarding settings.
- Step 4: On the Port Forwarding page enter in a name for your device like, “Camera”.
Can two router interfaces be on the same network?
A router routes between networks, not from an interface in one network to an interface in the same network. The routing table would not work correctly if you had two interfaces in the same network, and that is why routers don’t let you assign the same network to two different interfaces.
How do you do port forwarding if my router WAN IP is different from public IP?
Your options are:
- Subscribe to a VPN provider that assigns dedicated IPs per user and allows port forwarding. Also requires a router that can connect to a VPN (many ISP models will not be able to do this) as the camera itself cannot run a VPN client.
- Pay for a static IP address.
Which is the port for the second IP camera?
The second IP camera uses the same port as the first one, 7000. The port forwarding on the router is configured to forward port 7001 to the second IP camera at address 192.168.0.102 on port 7000. You see that the external Internet port does not need to match the internal LAN port that you setup forwarding to on your router.
How to setup port forwarding for multiple cameras?
Option 1: Leave the RTSP port (or HTTP port in case of a MJPEG stream) in all your cameras set to the default value (port 554 mostly) and select a different external port in your router port forwarding configuration. We recommend choosing ports 10554, 11554, 12554 and so on. The configuration should look like this in the router:
What does IP port forwarding on a router mean?
#1. What Is IP Camera Port Forwarding IP camera port forwarding is a function of network routers that enables you to configure specific communication ports to be routed to your IP security cameras and systems on the Internet.
Can a double router forward an IP address?
You have now set up port forwards in your double router network and everything is working without a hitch. That’s great, but if you have not configured static IP addresses for the network devices for which you have forwarded ports then your port forwarding settings are just waiting to break.
