Need help in viewing CCTV outside local network

Installation Home Assistant OS

Hello, silent reader here. I’m new to Home Assistant and still learning. I have a problem viewing my cameras remotely. When I’m outside of my network it is blank like the image below.

I’m running Home Assistant OS 2022.4.7 via VM on unraid server. I access my unraid server and Home Assistant using cloudflared argo tunnel + ngnix proxy.

The cameras are viewable when I’m connected on my home network but when I’m outside it is blank. The weird thing is that my cameras are working ok on shinobi when viewing remotely.

Is there anything that I miss to configure in Home Assistant?

Thank you.

my guess would be its got more to do with your proxy configuration that HA itself. Appreciate that doesn’t really “help” but it seems unlikely to be an HA thing if you can see it when on your home network.

As I’ve said the cameras are working ok on shinobi remotely.

I believe the best way is to used VPN something like wireguard. This way you will be inside the network.

After trial and error, I finally fixed this using ONVIF instead of generic camera integration. :blush:
