First of all thanks in advace !!

I´m newbie to wowza server.

I did some test and I could succes publish (on wowza ip live) a stream which source comes from CameraIp, using rtsp protocol.

(By this way, wowza be able to request to cameraIP directly, launch RTSP commands (setup, play ) and recevice streaming and then publish it.

But now, I´m trying another scenario.

I have my CameraIp under my private (home) network. As I know, wowza never could request directly to Camera because NAT ports is closed (home network).

At local network I have a PC and I am able to request RSTP commands to camera so I´m trying to configure , using “RSTP SETUP command” in way to Camera Publish RMTP packages to public wowza server. Notice that Play rstp commands will be started by PC.

But I need to configure wowza to listen incoming data. How could I do it?

Thanks in advance , (apologies for my english grammar)

Hello and welcome to the Wowza support forum.

Wowza can pull a rtsp stream over any port as long as it is not blocked by a firewall and is properly mapped in your network to the Wowza server. Take a look at these guides:

[How to set up an application for RTSP/RTP streaming](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-an-application-for-rtsp-rtp-streaming)

[How to troubleshoot RTSP/RTP playback](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-troubleshoot-rtsp-rtp-playback)

This guide shows how to [add ports to Wowza](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-get-started-as-a-wowza-streaming-engine-manager-administrator#openPorts).
