I'm wanting to add a 2nd NIC card to my BI PC to keep the cameras from the interwebs. I didn't even think of this until I read about it here in another thread. Okay this may be a really dumb question but.......... If things are set up like they are in the pic, wouldn't I only be able to view the cameras locally and not remotely?
Here's is the VPN screen on my router. Something worth mentioning is that I use T-Mobile home internet for my internet service. They use CGNAT so I'm not sure how this will affect my whole camera setup.Nope - you use a hosted VPN like OpenVPN to VPN back into your home network, then it is just like you are on the local network. Many routers have OpenVPN native to the router.
This VPN is free, the paid versions are to hide porno and illegal streaming LOL
VPN Primer for Noobs
The internet is a force of nature; no video surveillance system made was designed to be exposed to those forces.. NEVER FORWARD PORTS to your NVR or Cameras, doing such things not only exposes you to severe security problems, but everyone else on the internet too.. Hackers dont want your video...ipcamtalk.com
How to Secure Your Network (Don't Get Hacked!)
Many camera networks are unsecure, even those installed by professionals. This guide gives basic instruction in how to secure a camera network from the most common types of attacks. Perhaps the most important rule of securing a computer network is to not forward ports to unsecure services...ipcamtalk.com
I use my own gateway with a little IMEI magic and I have way more control over the service.Yeah that complicates it a bit. You may need to use ZeroTier instead. Others here have t-mobile so you can do a search and find what others have done.
Backup internet
I went from Comcasts crappy 35 up to AT&T Fiber, it was like christmasipcamtalk.com
that would be an insane thing to do. For 150 you can buy an 8th gen i5 system that is way more efficient and more powerfulI can always upgrade the CPU to an i7 for $125.00. They have a renewed CPU for $99.00. I'd rather do that because I built this system and I know it has quality parts in it.
Yeah that would be easier. I do want to give this existing PC a go though since it's just here taking up space. My son works in IT and they decommission PC's from time to time and usually throw them out or give them to employees if they want them. So I might be able to upgrade that way as well.that would be an insane thing to do. For 150 you can buy an 8th gen i5 system that is way more efficient and more powerful
I don't think you will need to upgrade the CPU from the i5 you already have. However if you find that rig lacking, I would say that you would be better off putting that $120 towards getting a rig with an i5-8X00. You can get a SFF machine for $200ish by watching EBay. Not only would it be quite a bit more powerful than a 4th gen i7, it is going to be a lot more power efficient too. Keep in mind this rig is going to be running 24/7, so power usage costs can start to make a difference.I can always upgrade the CPU to an i7 for $125.00. They have a renewed CPU for $99.00.
