Hi All,
This topic has been raised before and I know it’s not new. However I’m hoping someone might have a solution which hasn’t been posted before or advise on some ideas I’ve had. I install mobile broadband as a business and I have one customer who needs access to their CCTV while away from the property. I cannot use Three mobile on this install due to poor speeds which is a real shame as using the three APN provides a public IP. The best speed is using EE.
After some research it seems there are no easy solutions. One possible contender is installing ngrok on a Raspberry Pi which creates a tunnel to the ngrok servers and a unique address to access the Pi from the WAN side. I haven’t experimented with this but it appears to work for those that have tried it. However I have no idea how you would set this up so that the inbound connection to the Pi could be forwarded to the CCTV NVR. The customer does not want to change the hardware they have or connect any differently to how they do now so I need a solution which will allow access inbound to the NVR.
So has anyone done this on a Pi using ngrok and managed to access the NVR on the network? Has anyone come up with any other solutions which work?
Many thanks for any info.
Andy
