Why is my Axis Security Camera accessible locally but not externally?
- MMr. Andrew BurgessAug 20, 2025
If your Axis Security Camera is accessible locally but not externally, the issue might stem from your broadband router configuration or firewall settings. To allow external access, first, enable the NAT-traversal feature in your camera's settings (Setup > System Options > Network > TCP/IP Advanced), which automatically configures the router. Also, check your Internet firewall settings with your system administrator to ensure they are not blocking the camera's external access. Finally, verify that the default router settings are correctly configured.
