I am running Q24 and M73 cameras whilst trying to access them using the Mobotix Live app on the abroad location setting. It does not display a picture from the app, but the same url works from my chrome browser.
I use my own firewall dns service hosted by the manufacturer to receive the correct IP for my home broadband. That works because the url works from a browser.
I do a NAT at the firewall to access the webserver on the camera. It works from chrome to for example http://camera1.myfirewall.dns:244 as the firewall translates it via NAT to the webserver on port 80 internally on the camera.
Does the Mobotix Live only work with the preferred dynamic dns providers in the mobotix camera config or will it work with any url? In which case, is the live app able to be placed into a diag mode to see what is going on, because its behaviour is different to the web url method which works perfectly.
My firewall notifies the camera is uploading to my internet address on my phone provider network when I access via a browser url. But when using Mobotix Live no such notification occurs as there is no picture.
In principle, the MOBOTIX LIVE APP supports any Dynamic DNS services such as DYNDNS.org or No-IP to connect to the camera remotely.
In the MOBOTIX LIVE APP, you only need to enter a public URL with the corresponding port to reach the camera externally. It is also important whether port 80 for http of the camera is passed through or port 443 for HTTPS.
The settings that have to be made in the MOBOTIX LIVE APP are well described in the following article.
Cameras are only addressed via the remote connection if the Live App has activated the Location “Abroad” mode (I would always choose this as the default mode even if the smartphone is in the local network for a short time to avoid switching).
A good approach from them was to test the corresponding remote URl in the browser first, if this works only the information in the Live App must be transferred correctly as described above.
If you are not using a typical Dyn DNS service but a service that implements the remote connection via a proxy, this is possible via a browser but is not supported by the Live App! In this case, switch to No-Ip.com, for example.
Here are a report to setup dyn dns in the MOBOTIX Cameras:
