Anyone got it working successfully over their phone's data connection 3G/4G?
Installed the software on my Nexus 5. Set up the connection for my cam in the app with my routers external Internet facing IP, port 8000.
All ports are correctly forwarded on my router for the 2432 cam in question and the ports being forwarded match the default assigned ports on the cam itself for simplicity and ease of testing.
The iVMS-4500 software connects up and logs into the cam connection instance I've set up in the software fine. I can actually do full playback from the cam through the software and view saved footage and so forth on my phone's 3G/4G data connection. However, if I try to go to live view in the software I get:
logging in
Starting live view...
[Connection failed]
No live view
If I set up a connection in the software for my LAN wireless connection, same as above but with my cam's internal home network IP I get full functionality, including live-view, without issue.
For reference, IP Cam Viewer works live feed/view without issue. So I know this software can do it but I'll be jiggered if I can figure out why the live view won't come up on my 3G data connection.
Now I'm not the only person with this issue and I've trawled the Intertubes for possible solutions which include the following things I've tried in an effort to remedy the issue:
Honestly cannot fathom what is going on with it. Anyone got any suggestions?
I'm aware that IP Cam Viewer utilises RTSP 554 for the live feed data stream and was told that iVMS requires the 8000 server port, presumably for the more involved functions, but then also read iVMS also uses RTSP for the live stream too. Does anyone know how iVMS works and what's what or can shed any more light on it? I'm confusing the crap out of myself currently and need someone with a torch
It's not massively urgent as I can view the live feed through IP Cam Viewer and do any playback requirement when remote via iVMS as I can at least access playback as mentioned without any issues, but, I would love to figure out why this is misbehaving in this way. It's driving me absolutely insane.

- Changed the sub stream and main stream quality and parameters from high to v basic in case of data transfer or rendering issues of some sort
- Played with the LiveView paramaters on the camera itself, protocol, performance, hell I even changed the 'rules' setting (anyone know what that actually does? No one else on the Intertubes seems to either...)
- Port mapping and NAT settings on the camera to no avail and no change
- Changed assigned port numberings on the cam to a variety of other ranges and the same on the router in case of ISP blocked ports or ranges
