Port forwarding for an RTSP camera

Use this page when the camera works on your LAN or in the manufacturer's app, but RTSP.RUN still cannot reach it from the public internet.

Port forwarding is often the missing step between “the camera works locally” and “the public RTSP URL is really reachable from outside”. This page helps you avoid debugging browser playback before the camera is actually exposed to the internet.

What to check first

  • verify the camera's internal IP, the RTSP port, and the router rule that should expose it publicly
  • check that the public hostname or IP really points to the network where the camera is running
  • consider the security impact before you publish the camera
