I've setup a new baby camera (Levana LV-TW500) - it works great when accessing the video feed from the home network. However, I'm having trouble sharing it with others outside the home network - of note:
I've reviewed the guide and can't determine why the camera would work from the home intranet but fail on the Internet; hope someone can provide a few helpful suggestions or tips - thanks! |

There could be several explanations. It's impossible for me to "see" anything without knowing your hostname or IP address, though. If you have multiple modem/router devices, then you likely need to forward the port first from the ISP-provided router/modem to the other router, and then from the other router to the camera. If the camera lacks a correct default gateway setting, it will not be able to communicate with remote hosts (outside your LAN). With HTTP, the client (web browser) notifies the web server of which hostname the user specified, so that the web server may return different results based on the actual hostname used. Some camera devices and DVRs have been known to refuse to serve clients if they have used a hostname unknown to the camera's software. Whether that goes for your baby camera is impossible for me to know, but it is a possibility. |
