Im trying to find the best way to get a HIKVision camera to work over a 4G router on 2degrees.
Am I better off switching to spark and getting a static IP and simply forward the ports, or is there a simple soultion for using CG-NAT where I can use a third party service to essentially route a domain to an internal device such as the camera?
Main issues with port forwarding is the security and these cameras are well known for being hacked easily, a VPN tunnel could sort that.
Only issue i see if i go down the VPN route is that I need a client to connect to the cameras directly, since I will be having more than one site using this. Looks like some people have a VPS running as the endpoint and then add static routes through that to the outside.
I will be needing to add each cameras address to the HIKVision cloud service.
Seems port forwarding with a static IP will be the most simple way, but will need to add extra layers of security such as IP filtering perhaps.
Any suggestions would be great.
