We discussed how to use OTG USB connector for using mouse with Android, thing is same. However, in many ways external cameras with USB connector with or without night vision can be added with an Android phone. My Opinion to Avoid Router Setup to Watch IP Camera Remotely via BrowserĬheap Android Mobiles are ideal IP Cameras because it is basically easy to setup as server with a public IP, however their cameras are not robust for surveillance. However, if your ISP plays fowl with you then you have to suck your thumb. Your options to a VPN provider that assigns dedicated IPs per user and allows port forwarding which probably will requires another router that can connect to a VPN (many ISP will not be able to do it) as the camera cannot run a VPN client OR pay for a static IP address OR use DDNS service. The public address is either assigned to you by your ISP and is manually configured on the outside, public facing interface of a router or it is dynamically assigned by DHCP. Provider (or Perimter) Edge router is the router that a service provider has at the edge of their network which could be their last router on the way to another ISP or their router which connects to one of their customers. That is ideally the ISP facing interface. Chances are your internet provider is doing carrier-grade NAT to overcome IPv4 address shortage. Now, if that does not work then your router can be behind another router performing address translation. Now you can access the camera using that WAN IP and port number assigned by you in above step. On your some Status page or something of Router, you’ll get WAN IP address (which is different than the above). Use the IP and port number you used in above steps. You’ll see that your router has a Virtual Server option. After reboot, you can access the camera from within the LAN. Save the settings and Reboot the router and all hardware. MAC address settings will be Obtain an IP address automatically (DCHP). That needs to be changed to whatever you want except port 80, port 443 as common home ISP block those ports for this fun. Usually under Settings > Basic > Network > Information you’ll get the port in use. Now, if you visit 192.168.1.108 (camera’s IP), you can login. This part is manufacture dependent and usually via GUI. Use camera manufacturer’s configuration software. You’ll have some software/driver by manufacturer (like mobile hotspot devices) for the router. Now you need some computer to connect that router to setup.
