Hi and thank you so long for your help.
We installed an AXIS 215PTZ IP camera a couple of years at our church. I was not involved in the installation, but I know a port had to be opened. In the mean time someone did a hard reset of the router and port forwarding settings were lost.
We now have a MikroTIK RouterOS v6.40.3router, of which I know nothing at all.
I know the link on the desktop to operate camera was: 192.168.1.200:81
This causes me to think that Port 81 was involved. The new router is 192.168.88.1
I connected the cable to my LT and manage to access the camera at the old IP address and managed to change it to 192.168.88.200 and have access to it with full control.
BUT, now I know something needs to be setup in the router. The IP address of the PC operating the camera is dynamic.
Question:
Do I need to OPEN the port 81 and forward it to the camera's IP address?
Is a camera incoming or outgoing?
I will really appreciate some help. I need to get the camera up and running ASAP.
Thank you so long.
