Hi Anon2828,
I can across your post and was having the same exact issue, except I am using Q-See cameras. I had to use the gateway in order for it work. This is what I discovered thus far:
- If you are using a NVR/DVR and have your security cameras behind it using the builtin switch of the DVR or NVR, you can only stream one camera that is associated with the DVR/NVR. No other cameras behind the DVR/NVR IP address will stream. However, if you move the other cameras on the same network as the Alexa you should be able to stream all cameras.
- Make if you are using the gateway that you have a static IP address and port 443 is forwarded to this static of the gateway.
- Make sure you are using H264 compression
- Make sure the gateway service is running according to the documentation.
- Make sure Alexa sees the camera in the list of the Alexa app.
As I mentioned I was having the same issue but was able to resolve by checking these parameters.
Maybe you can help me or someone else can help me as well. I am able to view the cameras successfully from:
-Fire Cube
-Fire Stick
I am having trouble with FireStick 4K and Alexa Spot. I receive a message that the Spot can not find that device. The Firestick 4K does not respond with anything.
I hope I was able to help you or someone in the future in the same situation. This is a great service!!!
