Debugging an IP Camera
- by Kevin Boyd
Further to my previous question on ServerFault here, I finally can view the stream on RTSP however I still cannot view the camera stream in a web browser.
The IP camera uses an activeX control in Internet Explorer.
And although I can configure the camera settings from IE, I cannot view the stream it shows connecting for a few sec and shows disconnecting.
I have forwarded the HTTP, RTSP and Stream ports of the IP camera.
the public port is 7071 and private port is 7070.
When I try to see the connections in TCPView it shows that the ActiveX control in IE is trying to connect to port 7070 which is quite unusual since it should connect to 7071
Also the state shows SYN_SENT for sometime and then disconnects.
I have really no clue what's going on and why?
