Rtsp / http url

Apologies for this probably being a no-brainer for most however I really can’t find this out no matter how hard I google !
When I see how to construct a ‘connection path/url’ with the example:

http://admin:password@192.168.1.20/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi?chn=1&u=admin&p=password

I cannot find out anywhere I’ve tried to look whether the IP address is an EXTERNAL IP address i’d have to create ddns record/s for or is it always the INTERNAL address on my home network ?!

Any help would be most appreciated…

Thanks

Hi Mark,

If your goal is to connect the camera to angelcam, you will need to work with your EXTERNAL IP (can be also called WAN IP of your router) address or DDNS hostname. INTERNAL addresses, in general, can only be used for connection within your local network.

For everything to work correctly, please keep in mind that you will also need to have a port forwarding rule configured in your router. This port forwarding rule is necessary for the router to forward the incoming communication to the correct local device (your IP camera in this case). More info on this subject can be found in our FAQ section.

And one more thing: The stream URL is usually different for each camera manufacturer, so make sure you’re using the correct one. A handy list of URL’s can be found here.

I have exactly the same problem, absolutely impossible to find this out, since one electricity fallout the cam changed the IP address and can by no means connected any more to Angelcam. I only see it in my app from the cam producer. In your help section there is this tip to use to find out the address of the cam How to Find a RTSP Address for an ONVIF Compatible Camera/NVR/DVR | Angelcam Help Center but the app Onviv is simply not working! It is not showing anything.

So what can I do now to ever find out again my cam address?

Hello @Berthold_Kynast

I suggest you to try our AngelBox Compatibility Tester and eventually acquire AngelBox.

AngelBox is secure, reliable, and fast way to connect the cameras to the cloud without the hassle + saves you $ for a fixed IP address.

Let me know how did it go.

Hi,

Thanks, but is not needed, I found another free website now, where I was able so include my webcam as it is, within a few seconds

it works perfectly there. Even testing possibility is on the website, if the cam will work.
