Please help,
I implemented the pan tilt sketch found here:
// https://gist.github.com/sarasantos/1518a2d137ef7c0500ebdbb4154c81b0/revisions
The sketch works as expected with the AITHINKER board . I am able to stream video
On my local network (LAN) and the global network (WAN)..
When I use the freenove board (#define CAMERA_MODEL_WROVER_KIT),
I can stream only on the LAN, When I connect to the WAN I get the text only,
No video stream.
Thank you
Larry

Hi.
Do you get any other errors?
If you open the JavaScript console on the web browser, what errors do you get?

Hi.
I don’t think that error is causing the issue because it’s only related to the layout.
To be honest, I’m not sure exactly what might be causing the issue.
How are you setting access via WLAN?
Usually, when the video doesn’t render on the web page it’s because the wi-fi signal is not good and the camera cannot stream properly. But, it can be caused by many other different issues.

Hi Sara,
I am accessing the WAN by changing this line in the sketch: // config.server_port = 80;
To this: config.server_port = 8020;
Then I add the port forward in my router.I know the forwarding is okay because I can access the text for pan tilt but get no video stream on the WAN.
I did some more testing, and found that when I load the arduino example sketch “CameraWebServer”, on the freenove board, I can stream video on the LAN and WAN
Without problem. It look like the issue may be in the firmware of the freenove board,. The Combination of text, and streaming video refuses to work on the freenove board, but
Has no problem on the ai_thinker board.
Unless you can suggest a solution, I think I will abandon the freenove board and use only
The Ai_thinker boards.
Thanks
Regards
Larry

Hi.
Unfortunately, I don’t have an explanation for that issue.
I usually don’t use port forward in our projects. So, I’m not sure exactly what might be causing the issue.
I’m sorry that I can’t help much.

Sara

Hi Sara
I think if found a work around for my problem. Perhaps it will help others.
Apparently the html portion of the sketch // https://gist.github.com/sarasantos/1518a2d137ef7c0500ebdbb4154c81b0/revisions or the camera is not compatible with Network Address Translation (NAT).. In order to overcome this I made the LAN port associated with the
Sketch (camera) the default dmz port on my router. (netgear)
The sketch now works properly, and I can stream video on my LAN and WAN
Without problem. I am not skilled enough to determine what the issue with the sketch/camera is, but I am Happy with the result.
This is what I found on my search
The Default DMZ server feature is helpful when you are using some online games and video conferencing applications that are incompatible with Network Address Translation (NAT). The router is programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work correctly with them, but other applications might not function well. In some cases, one local computer can run the application correctly if the IP address for that computer is entered as the default DMZ server.
