Curious if any network/computer geniuses in the club can help me figure this out.
Thanks to Makena, I went down the route of setting up my old Samsung S3 phone as a ip webcam. I have forwarded the port through my router and can access the live feed using the ip address below:

Now, the problem I am having is access via my own phone, the Samsung S5.
I can pull up the feed, on my own home network by using the address above through my laptop, which is on the same network.
When I try the exact same thing with my Samsung S5 phone, nothing comes up. However, when I turn off my wifi on the phone and access it through my verizon data plan, it works fine.
Am I missing something here? How come my laptop can access the camera feed while "in network" while my phone cannot? Does this have to do with external IP address versus internal IP address? If so, why does the laptop resolve it but not the phone?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
