Spare IP camera

[PhatsMV]

Hi all,

I have been unsuccessful in my research so far. I have a spare IP camera from my own home. I would like to install the camera at my Mothers home but have it recording on the NVR in my own home connected via the Internet (Not LAN)

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks in advance.

HI PhatsMV

Depends on how good and reliable your connection is.. in general few people have that great of an ISP connection.. so better to setup a local storage option

It's possible, but you need to do it in a secure manner by using a VPN at both ends. And as @mat200 mentioned, it will depend how good the quality and speed of the internet connection is.

I’d suggest putting an SD card in the camera at your mother’s, for recording the main stream. Then connect via vpn to view the substream. The substream is smaller and when the internet cuts out you won’t lose any data.
