# Find your Public IP address

**Quickly find your public IP address** by visiting <https://www.whatismyip.com> (You need to be on the same network as the camera when doing so.). &#x20;

**Replace the internal ip address in your rtsp url** with your router's public IP.&#x20;

Again using the above example of rtsp\://admin:111111\@192.168.1.2:554//h264Preview\_01\_main, we will replace 192.168.1.2 with the public IP address (assuming 174.116.22.184), the final URL that will be submitted to Elumicate will look like this.

\
rtsp\://admin:111111@**174.116.22.184**:554//h264Preview\_01\_main

{% hint style="info" %}
\*While Business ISP plans often have static IP addresses, most home Internet Plans have Dynamic Ip address, meaning the IP address will change every so often (frequency is dependent on provider). We recommend using a DDNS service to ensure uninterrupted connectivity (such as [no-ip.com](https://www.noip.com/)). Some router models support internal functionality that automatically update DDNS entries (Asus RT-AX58U for example has a built in Asus DDNS service that is very easy to setup and use). DD-WRT routers can use a service like [ https://www.dynu.com/en-US/ControlPanel/AddDDNS](< https://www.dynu.com/en-US/ControlPanel/AddDDNS>).\
If using a DDNS service, you simply need to replace the public ip address in your rtsp url with the DDNS address created.

Example:  rtsp\://admin:<111111@elumicate.no-ip.org>:554//h264Preview\_01\_main

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://university.elumicate.com/user-experience/adding-a-camera/3rd-party-cameras/find-your-public-ip-address.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
