Hi,
If you want to remote watch your camera via RTSP/ONVIF, you need open ports(554 and 2020) on your router for your camera, if there is a modem router in front of your router, you also need open the ports(554 and 2020) on that modem router for your router.
The remote view URL should be rtsp://username:password@WAN IP for the router:554(or 2020).
Best Regards

It works well on the same network. However, what I need is remote access (access from a different network). So, I set up port forwarding, and the port check shows it as successful.

The external port is 554, and the internal port is 2020.

In VLC,

rtsp://'id':'pw'@'privateIP'/stream2 works fine,

and http://'privateIP':2020/onvif/device_service (ONVIF) also works.

However, http://'publicIP':554/onvif/device_service does not work. Could you please help?
Could you also let me know how to access it via VLC remotely?

Hi,
Your port forwarding entry seems incorrect.

You may need to open two ports on the router for the camera, one is port 554 and another one is port 2020. On the port forwarding entries, the two internal ports should be 554 and 2020, and the two external ports can be the same as the internal ports.
Best Regards
