How to expose a cam to the internet

[gilkman]

Hey guys I am running some hikvision cameras on a dedicated BI server in a residential and I have recently added a camera to look at a bird nest that the wifey is enamoured with because baby birds...I set up her laptop and showed her how to login to the webcam locally etc at 192.168.1.202. She's in heaven.

Her Mom in another state wants to see live video from this cam....what the easiest and most secure way to enable this? I already have a dynamic DNS solution through noip.com if that helps. Thanks.

easiest is to configure your router/firewall to port forward thru to your BI server's IP/port,
more secure is to set up VPN access.

Put the specific camera in a group and create another user who only has access to that group..
