      I found your skill when trying to find a way to view my IP cameras on Alexa. Based on dates of posts, perhaps this is nolonger a solution.
      I have 3 cameras; tested with VLC, added and configured gateway using @proxy-tcp (also tried @tunnel).
      Alexa finds the cameras but when I ask to watch one of them on an Echo Show, Alexa tries but comes back in 30sec that camer is not responding. In the gateway window, I can see the attempted connection.
      What else can i try?

        Which Alexa devices are you testing with/using and what IP camera makes/models?

        Thanks, Robert

            Do you know which Echo model? For example

            • Echo Show (Gen1)
            • Echo Show (Gen2)
            • Echo Show 5
            • Echo Show 8
            • Echo Spot

            Let’s start by focusing on the Foscam camera. You mentioned using Monocle Gateway and the @tunnel tag and @proxy-tcp tag. Can you post a log from Monocle Gateway from the point where you start the service up to and including a single request to Alexa for the foscam camera stream?

            Thanks, Robert

              @Monocle The Echo Show is a Gen 1. I also have a Echo Spot if that helps. WIll try to get the log files in the next couple of days.
