CCTV DVR Port Forwarding

RouterOS General
1

Hi Guys!

I’m new here in this forum.
I’m just need some help guys.
Regarding cctv port forwarding..
How can I open port for cctv, because as I checked from the port checker website, my port for cctv is closed. How can I open a port?
I’m using mikrotik router. Should I open the port from the ISP?
Sorry I’m new in networking.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Until your router is not accessible from the Internet on required port, you need to talk to your isp. If it is, read this.

https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:IP/Firewall/NAT#Port_forwarding_to_internal_FTP_server

.. And dst nat above. Don’t forget to accept the redirected packets.

ip firewall nat add chain=dstnat dst-address=your-public-ip-address protocol=tcp dst-port=external-port action=dst-nat to-
addresses=your-dvr-ip to-ports=your-dvr-port

This will work if you have and Public IP Address on WAN offered by ISP!

Hi,
I checked the 8080 port is open. Now, this is my cctv network config:
CCTV IP Static: 192.168.9.120
Server Port: 8000
HTTP Port: 8080

CCTV Port Forwarding in Mikrotic Router:
IP>Firewall>NAT
Chain: dstnat
Dst. Address: my Public IP
Protocol: tcp
Dst. Port: 8000

Action: dst-nat
To Addresses: 192.168.9.120 (My CCTV IP)
To Ports: 8000

Still can’t access outside.
Btw, what is “External Port?”

Thanks for replying Sir.

Config is OK, but 8000 is port for access by DVR software not from WEB interface, you need to configure 8080 port to on the same way as you have configured 8000! You need masquerade role too! If you have problems, please go to terminal and type export, and paste the results here!

Hi,
Same configuration of Port 8000 and 8080.

CCTV Server and HTTP Port Forwarding in Mikrotic Router:
IP>Firewall>NAT
Chain: dstnat
Dst. Address: my Public IP
Protocol: tcp
Dst. Port: 8080 and 8000

Action: dst-nat
To Addresses: 192.168.9.120 (My CCTV IP)
Dst. Port: 8080 and 8000

I can access my CCTV with my Public IP using HIKVision apps for windows/Mobile and WEB as well.

But using internet outside the network, I can’t access both.

Appreciate your assistance Sir.

Thank you and regards

Your ISP router needs to forward these two ports to the Mikrotik router.
I assume that your connection is : Internet → ISP router (in router mode) → Mikrotik router.

so untill these ports are forwared on the ISP router, you won’t be able to access the DVR from the Internet.

Hi Sir,
I can access my dvr now. Now, I have a lot of dvr device, how can I put or access all my dvr?

Should I configure my dvr like these and to my router??

Please see below configuration:

CCTV IP Static: 192.168.9.120 to 192,168.9.129
Server Port: 8000 to 8009
HTTP Port: 8080 to 8089

CCTV Port Forwarding in Mikrotic Router:
IP>Firewall>NAT
Chain: dstnat
Dst. Address: my Public IP
Protocol: tcp
Dst. Port: 8000 to 8009 and 8080 to 8089

Action: dst-nat
To Addresses: 192.168.9.120 to 192.168.9.129 (My CCTV IP)
To Ports: 8000 to 8009 and 8080 to 8089
