Introduction

3GPP cameras meet the requirement of surveillance anywhere and anytime. However , it
usually gives users a hard time to configure and make it work. Working 3GPP camera
surveillance needs three parts:

(1) A correct setting for 3GPP camera.
(2) An operator supporting streaming service via 3G handset
(3) A correct setting of 3G handset with RTSP complaint application on it.

For item 2 and 3, they are co-related. Different operator will need different setting of the
3G handset to enable streaming setting. Usually you can call your service provider to send
you the streaming setting via SMS. Anyway, customer service of your cell phone operator will
solve this problem for you. This document will focus on the camera setting part to guide user
to install a 3GPP camera with correct media and network setting. In addition to that, a FAQ
will also be available for trouble shooting.

Network setting for 3GPP camera

We divided network environment into 2 categories to guide user to install 3GPP camera
correctly for mobile viewing.

(1) With IP router

If your 3GPP camera will be installed behind IP router, port forwarding is
necessary for your IP router. You can just check the check box of “Enable UPnP port
forwarding” (see figure 1) and network camera will automatically try to open all the
necessary port for you.

If your IP router does not support UPnP, the error message of UPnP port
forwarding will be shown in network page (See Figure 2). You will need to open the
port forwarding manually. There are 6 ports totally needed to be opened in the IP
router. They are HTTP port for TCP (1), RTSP port for TCP (2), RTP video port (3),
RTCP video port (4), RTP audio port (5) and RTCP audio port (6). Just open these
6 ports in your router mapping to the IP address of your network camera. For
example:

(1) Open the port of HTTP (80) with TCP protocol in the router mapping to the

IP address 192.168.1.100 of camera with HTTP port (80)

(2) Open the port of RTSP (554) with TCP protocol in the router mapping to the

IP address 192.168.1.100 of camera with RTSP port (554)

(3) Open the port of RTP/video (5558) with UDP protocol in the router mapping

to the IP address 192.168.1.100 of camera with RTP/video port (5558)

(4) Open the port of RTCP/video (5559) with UDP protocol in the router

mapping to the IP address 192.168.1.100 of camera with RTCP/video port
(5559)

(5) Open the port of RTP/audio (5556) with UDP protocol in the router mapping

to the IP address 192.168.1.100 of camera with RTP/audio port (5556)

(6) Open the port of RTCP (5557) with UDP protocol in the router mapping to

the IP address 192.168.1.100 of camera with RTCP/audio port (5557)

Make sure port mapping will be the same both in the router and camera.
