Just got a new IP Camera and trying to view it through an AT&T hotspot from my Cellphone. I can see the video on the local LAN but can't seem to be able to see it remotely. I have a feeling that AT&T doesn't allow remote viewing through their wireless networks. Calling them is a lesson in frustration. I know how to port forward, DNS Services, etc. and can see the camera through my Uverse router at home. Has anyone successfully been able to access an IP camera through an AT&T hotspot?

The hotspot is in the RV, or in the houseFor sending out from home or for receiving in RVAre you trying to check RV from homeOr check house from RVI know cellphone data contracts, stipulate NO ..remote viewing equipment monitoring aka 24 hr continuous access not allowed

If you know how to do port forwarding, map the output to a different port. Many ISPs block or filter traffic on well-known ports which are typically those below 32,767.Services like Torrent default to use these lower port numbers, and since "they" think the only purpose for Torrent is to steal music and videos and by blocking these ports they lock out Torrent applications. However by mapping to use higher port numbers one can get these services running again so it can be used for otherwise legal purposes.

Which leads to the next logical question:Has anyone written a port scanner for iOS or android?Found Port Scan for iOS

Port Scanner in the Google App Store. It will scan ports on a remote computer. If you want to scan the ports on your android you'll need to run a scanner on something like your PC and scan the Android.

Thanks for the replies. I'm trying to view a camera in the RV from my cellphone when we're out and about and the pets are alone. I'll try to forward a higher port and see if that works. I have a sinking feeling that AT&T Cellular firewalls are blocking all incoming access. Bob, I'll try the Port scanner app also. Thanks again.
