I have recently moved to a new place renting. The owner is providing internet and is ok with me setting up cameras outside. The router provided is connected to the owner's router. So my question is, can I setup blueiris with openvpn for remote viewing with this setup.?
oops, my diagram isn't that good. the owner's router serves their devices and my router serves my devices ( pc, phone, tablet, etc) an ISP-provided router. I have a BI machine from my previous residence, it's just not connected yet.Is 'your router' solely for the purposes of adding cameras to the location?
If you have a BI machine already, use the 2 network card (NIC) set-up if you have not done so already. One NIC connects to the owner's network, the 2nd NIC will be your camera network.
Edit: VPN connection will need to be set-up on owners router
Hang on.... If you have your own internet connection attached to the ISP provided router you speak of. The next step is to determine if the ISP provided router is capable of being a VPN server.VPN set-up on the owners router? oh no, that's what I was afraid of.
thanks, ill take a look at it.You can also try zerotier on your devices and on your blueiris machine. You wont have to mess with the router ports and zerotier will figure out the best route to give you point to point. Zerotier is like a reverse vpn. On your device for remote viewing, you enable zero tier, then run the blueiris app for remote viewing. I’ve used it successfully on my friends system that has two routers for doing file backups offsite as well as starlink network. No issues so far. You can always remove it if you don’t like it or it doesn’t work for you. But the beauty of it is that you don’t have to touch router settings.
