Port forwarding not working

    I hope someone can help me out here.

    I have a TC7200 router with upc and have configured a security camera with which all is working fine on my LAN. I can ping my external ip address internally. I get request timed out externally with firewalls switched off. Ports are open...ip addresses are correct.
    Am using Port forwarder utilities to check for open ports but it says none are open.
    Router firewall off, wan blocking off, ip address with ports open. Still request timed out. Would be grateful of any suggested solution.

    I take it you are using your internal IP in the port forward setup & the camera software is active when you check it using something like Canyoucme.org?

    Did you check if your security camera also has a built in firewall/settings for remote connections?

    Thanks for the replies. Am using internal ip for port forwarding. It a hikvision camera. I'm fairly sure there is a no firewall on the camera. WIll check when at home. I tried both the camera software for external access and also a synology nas system which I have connected. Neither the camera or the NAS are public facing as I just can't get the ports forwarded. AS you mention Firewall on the camera I now think thee is a firewall on the NAS. Will have to check this also later on. Thanks for the help. Will check back again.
