Synology DS CAM port forwarding
Posted: Wed May 04, 2016 9:10 am
I know this is a long shot but I was wondering if anyone has managed to get the Synology DS CAM app working on their mobile phone using port forwarding in their router.
If you aren't familiar with DS CAM it basically allows you to watch a live feed from your CCTV cameras and also view any event recordings.
Anyway getting it working seemed simple enough:
1) Install the app on your phone.
2) Set port forwarding (TCP) in your router for http 5000 and https 5001 (see ports link below). This is from the internal Synology NAS IP address to the external IP address.
3) login to DS CAM using your external IP address and port 5000
It just hangs for me. I don't think this is a router specific issue but in case you were wondering I'm using the Billion BiPAC 8900ax-2400.
I don't think I need to alter anything on the NAS its self.
