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..
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
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
Attached are the public IP Address that I get when I go to whatismyip.com and then the Router settings. Its set to Automatic IP Address, and I think that might be my problem...
That is the strange thing. The WAN IP Address is 192.168.0.2 but the what is my ip is giving me a 174.99 type address.
Not sure what to change in the WAN settings though and dont' want to knock it offline as I'm remote
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...
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...
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?
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?
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...
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.....
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...
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
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?
