      This thread has already been over

      so lets say I have 3 cams

      cam1.dyndns.tld:8081
      cam2.dyndns.tld:8082
      cam3.dyndns.tld:8083

      now cam1,2 and 3 all point to your public IP lets call it 4.5.6.7, and your cameras on the inside are 192.168.1.101,102 and .103

      Are your cameras listening on 8081 and 8082 and 8083 or do you forward to say 80??  Really should forward to the ports your actually listening on. if cams listen on those ports your urls still work just fine be it outside or inside your network.

      Also having your cameras open to the public net is not a good idea to be honest.  Why don't you just vpn in and use the private IPs directly.  This makes it simple and more secure..  Nat reflection is to be honest never a good idea ;)
