The server talks to the cameras over two ports. The following instructions will show you how to test the communication over both ports.

  • TCP 80 - HTTP
  • TCP 554 - RTSP video

  1. SSH into the server
  2. Run the following command to check port communication
    • nc -zv [CAMERA IP] [PORT]
    • Example: nc -zv 192.168.0.90 80
  • If communication is good it will say Succeeded!.
  • If it fails it will say Connection Refused.

If it takes more than 5 seconds to give a response, the test will most likely timeout, and the connection is probably not good.
