Access my foscam camera on my home from the Internet - using ssh tunnels
Recently I buyed a Foscam wireless IP camera: http://www.foscam.com/Products_List.asp?id=173
In my home, my laptop and my IP camera are behind a cable modem (my ISP gives me a dynamic IP) using a linksys router (I dont have a public IP).
Actually I use SSH in a basic way to learn / manage some basic things in my VPS server.
My question is (the right ssh flags and comm开发者_高级运维ands to achieve this):
I think that I need to create:
A tunnel from my local router to a remote VPS server where I have root access.
A portforward in the router.
Thanks in advance.
You need to add a port forward in your router from port X to port 22 on your home computer.
You can then ssh -p X username@your-home-ip
.
Include the -L Y:foscamip:80
command line switch when you run ssh, assuming focscam runs a web server on port 80 (standard). Use something over 1024 for Y, like 8080.
Open up a web browser, and go to http://localhost:Y
.
You have access! When you're done, simply log out of your ssh session.
Old question, but I will answer in the hope it helps someone like me. Given:
- you have a VPS with root access at root@example.com
- you have an RTSP-compatible IP camera in your LAN at address 192.168.1.100
- you have a PC/router/Raspberry Pi able to create the tunnel
what I did was
ssh -N -f -R 10554:192.168.1.100:554 root@example.com
Exaplanation:
-N
: don't execute any command via SSH-f
: put SSH in the background-R
: remote port forwarding10554
: a port to open on the VPS to access the IP camera (better if > 1024)192.168.1.100:554
: IP address and port you want to access remotelyroot@example.com
: user and address of your VPS
To access the RTSP stream of the camera, open rtsp://<username>:<password>@example.com:10554/<path-to-stream>
.
Of course it works fine also for other kind of streams (e.g. HTTP).
Better yet, use autossh.
/usr/bin/autossh -N -f -M 0 -i /home/pi/.ssh/id_rsa -o "ServerAliveInterval 30" -o "ServerAliveCountMax 3" -R 10554:192.168.1.100:554 root@example.com
.
I ended up with this command reading a lot of articles on the web. I even created an autossh
user on the VPS without a shell, so it can do nothing apart from port forwarding.
