Multiple DCS-5300w:Port forwarding

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.webcam (More info?)

I just can't get my head around this.

Following
http://support.dlink.com/faq/view. [...] 0DCS-5300G

(Watch the wrap)

OK it is obvious re forwarding 80, 80, 82 etc, and accessing each camera
from the Internet using http://xx.yy.zz.ww:81 http://xx.yy.zz.ww:82 etc.

That works OK, but defaults to http, presumably because of 5001, 5002, 5003
etc.

What do I do with these?

I can port forward, and also change the camera settings to 6001, 6002, 6003.
7001,7002, 7003 etc.

BUT

What of the browser source. which ports do I forward? I can't forward 5001,
5002, 5003 to all three cameras!!

What tells the browser to use the other ports in the 6 and 7 ranges.

Or any other help to get three DCS-5300w's working from the internet.

My errors range from server not found, to, defaulting to http.

TIA

Between the three they all have different user combinations, from admin to
nothing.

I think I've cracked it now.

Set up cameras as follows:-

Cam 1 192.168.1.45:85, 5001,5002,5003
Cam 2 192.168.1.46:86, 6001,6002,6003
Cam 3 192.168.1.49:89, 9001,9002,9003

All on the local LAN side of my router.

And in my router, I've just forwarded directly port to port for all.

i.e. external 9001 goes to 192.168.1.49:9001
6002 goes to 192.168.1.46:6002
etc etc.

All seems to work OK.

Now I need some decent software. I'll do another post after I've been to the
pub for a cold summer pint :-))
