    Spectrum Port Forwarding

    Yep got it setup for my home network. Now just need to figure out how to do a site to site vpn so its always on, and all my parents have to do is connect to it and they can see my cameras and vice versa..

    Spectrum Port Forwarding

    Ya my port is working now. Had to put in 192.168.0.1 and the login info from the back of the box to get into it. Then put it into bridge mode Thanks everyone for all the help

    Spectrum Port Forwarding

    Put it into bridge mode and we are all set. Never would have guessed that would have had all that capability crammed in there.

    Spectrum Port Forwarding

    Here is what I got when I go there. Does not look like a router to me at all, just a cable modem admin / blank admin/admin admin/password did not work to login

    How do I tell on the Asus router what my WAN IP is? I don't see it obvious anywhere like I do in netgear devices...

    Spectrum Port Forwarding

    I don't think I have a gateway though. No other ports except the LAN and the Coax and phone lines....

    Spectrum Port Forwarding

    Looked at the wiki and the VPN on Asus, pretty complicated and never got it to work. I"ll stick with port forwarding..

    camera only seen through wifi

    UPnP is a bad deal. I turned mine off. If you don't have any port forwarding rules then you wont see the camera's outside of the network, unless you are using a VPN back to your network...

    Spectrum Port Forwarding

    Anyone have any luck forwarding ports with spectrum internet and their own router? I have a new Asus router with Spectrum Phone / Internet modem and even thought port shows as open on the ASUS router, I'm unable to get to my camera or see that the port is open in a port forward online...

    Powerline adapter into POE+ Switch into POE Camera?

    Would / Does this system work? I assume the camera doesn't care how it gets network as long as it gets it, straight home run or through powerlines? POE+ switch in between would act as the power distribution unit?

    VPN and multiple cameras at multiple sites

    Excellent points. Let me try to answer them 1. Check on them occasionally 2. One site has 5MB Upload, another has about 10 and my main site has 10 as well 3. Yes, my main site is 150MB/s download capable 4. Could I do this with Asus VPN capable routers? 5. Would a PiVPN do the trick?

    VPN and multiple cameras at multiple sites

    This made a lot of sense! Thank you. Site to Site VPN's could be established with ASUS routers VPN options and then a local VPN server could be PiVPN?

    VPN and multiple cameras at multiple sites

    You don't have to be a jerk about it...a lot of people on this forum are nice. some seem high strung. Sorry my questions are so time consuming, maybe you should let someone else take a shot at it. Your top diagram is along the lines of what I want, however I will not be using an NVR, I will be...

    VPN and multiple cameras at multiple sites

    Your responses haven't been very clear or very helpful. I've explained several times now what my use case scenario is...this is why I'm thinking a VPN might not work the best for me for three different sites.....

    VPN and multiple cameras at multiple sites

    This seems to track with what I'm reading on other sites. Thank you. Is this just for one office, or how do board members in other states connect to Office B? In my case, I don't see how I wouldn't need a VPN server at each of my homes, as the web cameras are tied into three completely...

    VPN and multiple cameras at multiple sites

    I think this would be the way I would go. If I only need one VPN client like everyone is telling me, then this seems easiest, I can just keep it at my home. I would be interested in hearing more about how this was setup and what your use case was, etc...

    That seems to be the common answer around here just like using Blue Iris seems to be the end all be all, for me its not. I've already read the cliff notes and still had questions....I appreciate the responses posted here for the additional insight

    VPN and multiple cameras at multiple sites

    Why would you not need 3 VPN servers, one at each location? How can a device at home A know you want to connect to it when you are at Home B using the VPN server at home C?
