SETTING UP CAMERA FOR APEX FUSION

[ngvu1]

That means the camera is working correctly. I have 2 things to try
1. Can you remotely access the router? Netgear router has this option to allow admin login remotely. This is just to make sure the router does not block incoming request. If you have the iphone or android Apex app setup already then there is no need to test this
2. I think your port forwarding is not correct.
a. for the settings on the router, what are the internal and external ports?
b. for the camera, did you play with the port settings? what are the internal and external ports on the camera?

Correct, the camera/old iPhone using the app to make it an ip cam uses 192.168._._. When I put that and add port)/live into fusion on while I am on my network in the house I can see the camera fine. Soon as I shut off wifi on my phone or leave it doesn't work. The port forwarding is set up to this cameras IP address using a netgear router.

I can log into the router but only when I am connected to the wifi in my house. I do have the apex app and works fine.
The internal port and external port is the one I assigned to the camera. Put them both the same.

The devil is details. If you don't feel comfortable publishing the ports settings then PM me. I am willing to help. I got the same issue back then and it took me a while to realize it was a silly mistake.

I googled port forwarding on netgear C6300 router and seems like people have had issues with port forwarding. Once I get home I'll screen shot some things and possibly see if anyone can troubleshoot or see what I may be missing.

The iphone app does not use port forwarding? I guess you use fusion then.

Yes I created a shortcut on my iPhone which logs me right into fusion. Sorry mis understood

Believe I have solved it.
Connected my phone to the Internet and went to canyouseeme.org. Used the IP address it gave me there and added the port number for the iPhone camera and /live and seems to be working. No clue how long it will last but for now, I can view my tank from not being connected on the Internet and running 4glte

Do u have a pic of what it looks like on fusion? I'm due for a phone upgrade and it looks like my old iPhone six is going to be my new fish tank camera. Can u zoom in or out? Actually if u can can I see the pictures of ur set up so I have something to think about when I set mine up?
Thanks in advance

Did you ever find a solution to your problem I’m having the same issue where I only get a live feed at home but on a network outside of my homes I get nothing.

The Nest Cam is now working supposedly. I can't verify this because I have Arlo cams. Check out the thread here:

To be honest it shouldn't be this hard to integrate a webcam into the Fusion app, should it!?

Id have thought it would be better to directly connect a wifi camera to the Apex locally then the Apex can connect that to Fusion so you don't need to stream to a secondary server then stream from that back to Fusion to then stream it to the app?
