I have 10 cameras, 9 are Foscam´s, last one is a Wanscam.
Port forwarding is set and works for all foscam´s cameras for WAN and LAN access.
Port forwarding is set and works in the Wanscam only when in LAN.
I have access to the Wanscam wireless and wired but only from LAN.
I can´t connect to the Wanscam camera from a remote location (WAN).
My Wanscam camera is set to fixed ip adress with open port 80
I already test if my modem 80 port is open with online tools and it say is open.
ISP does not block the port and i try to switch port with other camera, no go.

Any reason why the Wanscam don´t allow remote viewing ?

Welcome to the forum...try a different port.
Be advised that port forwarding is a serious security risk particularly with low end cameras like foscam/wanscam.

I already try with different ports: wanscam default port 99, 80 and 4000 with no go.

At every port change on the wanscam port the pertinent open port at modem was made
to open the changed port at the camera, both changes was made at port forwarding for
TCP and UDP in modem also with no go.

The ports was checked after the port change to be open with online tools with positive result.

i already try putting the camera ip at DMZ , fail also.
