IP Camera (RTSP + Web UI) के लिए पोर्ट फॉरवर्डिंग
खोले जाने वाले पोर्ट
पोर्ट फॉरवर्डिंग क्यों आवश्यक है?
Many homeowners want to view their CCTV feed from outside the LAN. The lazy way (forward 554/80) is also the riskiest — IP cameras are a top brute-force target. Prefer VPN or a managed cloud relay if the camera supports it.
राउटर ब्रांड के अनुसार चरण
TP-Link
- Web UI → NAT Forwarding → Virtual Servers
- Forward external 554 → camera IP 554 (TCP)
- Forward external 443 → camera IP 443 (TCP)
- Strongly consider changing the external port (e.g. 65000 → 554 internal) to dodge script-kiddie scanners
Netgear
- routerlogin.net → Advanced → Port Forwarding → Add Custom Service
- TCP 554 → camera IP. TCP 443 → camera IP for web UI.
- Set a strong camera admin password BEFORE opening the port
Hikvision
- Camera → Configuration → Network → Basic Settings → set static IP
- Router → forward 8000 (Hikvision SDK) and 554 (RTSP) to camera IP
- Hik-Connect cloud usually works without forwarding — prefer it if possible
सुरक्षा चेतावनी
Default-password Hikvision / Dahua / Reolink cameras facing the internet get pwned within hours. Never expose 80/554 without strong credentials, current firmware and ideally an IP allow-list. A VPN is dramatically safer.
