Hello Home Assistant Community,
I am facing an issue with remote access to my CCTV video feeds in Home Assistant and could use some guidance to resolve it. Here’s a brief overview of my setup:
-
NVR Setup: I have connected my NVR device to a separate router without internet access because the NVR uses a P2P protocol to communicate with clients. Filtering specific ports is not feasible due to the P2P protocol’s nature, and my primary router lacks advanced settings beyond port forwarding.
-
Home Assistant Connection: The NVR router is connected to my Home Assistant server, and the Home Assistant server is linked to my home local area network. I have configured port forwarding on my primary internet router to allow remote access to my
Home Assistant server. -
CCTV RTSP Links: I have obtained the CCTV RTSP links from the NVR router’s IP address and successfully added them to the Home Assistant dashboard.
Problem: While I can view the CCTV video feeds on my local server, I am unable to access the feeds when remotely accessing Home Assistant from outside my local network. The video streams are unavailable in the dashboard.
My primery router: 192.168.8.119
Secoundary router: 192.168.1.6
