Port forward to ip cam to diagnose fault

[Tinbum]

I have a Chinese IP camera with a faulty PTZ and to help with sorting the fault remotely I want to port forward to the camera temporarily.

I have a static ip address so I set up forwarding xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8084 to forward to the camera web server on 80 at 192.168.3.175.

The forward brings up the logon screen and can I log on but no video shows and I can't see the device config tabs to go into the settings.

I'm guessing I have to set up some more forwards but not sure what. Any ideas?

you generally need to also forward the rtsp port.

Thanks, but sadly that's not worked.

Have you tried different browsers?

Yes, I had.
