Any way to watch 4 cameras at the same time

[Dorian]

One client asked me if there was a way to watch 4 cameras at the same time on the cellphone. The idea is to have a quick view of all them , just a glance. Can it be done? Moreover, can you arm and disarm the alarm for 4 cameras at the same time? Regards

You can use multiple cameras for remote view, but you have to manage port forwarding in the router. Different ports need to be forwarded to the same ONVIF port (5000). Use No-IP for DDNS (to get a free host name).

I have another Foscam which has built-in No-IP.com support and it automatically updates the IP address, so I don't need to do it here. If you don't have then you need to do it somehow using android app or a pc. no-ip will give you a hostname which is something like - "yourname.ddns.net".

I have used the android apps "IP Cam Viewer Basic" and "ONVIF IP Camera Monitor" from play store. Both are free (Ad supported).

My settings are here:

Camera1:

Local IP: 192.168.0.71
Local ONVIF Port: 5000
Local RTSP port: 554

In router you need to forward two ports like below:
1. Forward port 7071 to internal port 5000 on IP address 192.168.0.71
2. Forward port 771 to internal port 554 on IP address 192.168.0.71

In the IP Cam Viewer app, select camera brand as ONVIF.
Remote IP: yourname.ddns.net
Remote Port: 7071
Overwrite default RTSP port with 771

Camera2:

Local IP: 192.168.0.72
Local ONVIF Port: 5000
Local RTSP port: 554

In router you need to forward two ports like below:
1. Forward port 7072 to internal port 5000 on IP address 192.168.0.72
2. Forward port 772 to internal port 554 on IP address 192.168.0.72

In the IP Cam Viewer app, select camera brand as ONVIF.
Remote IP: yourname.ddns.net
Remote Port: 7072
Overwrite default RTSP port with 772

You can use different IP address and Port than I used in the example.

Thank you so much!

I was referimos to the same YooSee app or another using the same protocol but allowing to watch 4 cameras at the same time.
